One final race briefing complete! We start tomorrow October 29, 2013 at 0900 local french time. The weather forecast has a very large swell and some heavy wind. Unfortunately it will also be blowing 30 knots from the south west as we go around Cape Finisterre. It’s going to be huge waves, swell against wind and 30 knots on the nose. This is going to make last year’s UK Fastnet race look like a walk in the park! We still have a prevision to be rerouted to Gijon Spain if the conditions worsen again. Cross your fingers that the big weather bomb of a low climbs a bit further north on Friday to give us better conditions on Saturday when we’re going around! The tracker will be up and running sometime soon and you will all be able to follow. See you in the Canaries! 🙂
