Bringing it home...

Saturday 17 May 10:30 - Jamaica Lime Green

Finally we have some speed! After putting in our losing tack early, we now find ourself on a straight run home to Jamaica. At 43 degrees apparent wind, the good ship Jamaica is much happier, and we are breezing along at a happy 9 knots. Better still, our VMG is the same 9 knots as we are heading straight for the eastern tip of the island.

The crew is happier now that all our telemetry is showing "green" graphs. With the opposition dropping every hour. Unfortunately the front runners are probably too far out to catch, but even just seeing us claw back the miles is a pleasant sight.

With a bit of luck we'll be just about crossing the finish line tomorrow at this time. And as things are looking now, we will at least not be last.
