…When we get there

“Things aren’t too bad, we’ve put the solent up again, the wind went up just after, and we’re almost over-sailed, but it’s fine. It’s not very easy to estimate our arrival time, and it’s not that important to us. We’re trying to advance and we’ll get there when we get there. We can’t linger too much because there’s a ridge behind us and our pace risks falling, so we want to stay roughly in the good wind without forcing the boat too much. Things here are a bit bumpy but it’s fine, and if we want to gain a few minutes, then all the better. That’s what we’re doing at the moment because we’re going quite fast in relation to the routing. But above all, we need to get there in one piece.”
