A late night last night, bed, back into it early this morning. The foil is fixed and faired and the boat has been checked as best as we can.

The wind is in and it's forecast to build to 27 knots. The team is all suited up for battle.

I feel good and yesterday, despite the ending, only gave me more confidence in the boat to be able to live in world record territory.

Hopefully there are no little issues with the boat that we haven't seen... but are about to!

Three days left including today.

Yesterday is already a long way away.

Well, I'll try and be brief as it's late and we have shed loads to do.... fortunately it's not too bad as it could have been a hell of a lot worse.

We pushed it today in winds that remained up and down. Twice we hit peaks over 51 knots and managed to better previous best's. On the first run it looked like we beat the windsurfers once and for all... but we are still having trouble with the TRIMBLE... (formerly the 'mighty' TRIMBLE). It is dropping our data for periods up to twelve seconds long and that just screws us royally. we are wasting our time here if that doesn't work.

One boat load of humans is over at speed-spot. The skies are clear, the forecast is big and the wind is already in.

It's got all the trademarks of an epic day.

The trouble with the TRIMBLE data is still plaguing us... especially because we can't explain it. Don't fail me now yellow box.

The little issues from yesterday have all been resolved.

Today could be ours. Let's try and sneak in... and take it.

C'mon nature... spin the final plate.

Paul.

...like a freight train. This boat can beat the existing record. Yesterday she made that perfectly clear to me and those who watched.

Sitting here the following day... we know we went fast... but we still don't know how fast. We normally sail with three independant GPS systems onboard.
