We have just returned from a very late run over at speed-spot. I was just about to can the day when the wind unexpectedly picked up. We had to move a heap of Hobie 16's to get to the water. The wind was lightish but we decided to run anyway as it would be great to make sure everything was OK. The run went well with a mean wind speed of 15.5 knots and we managed a peak just shy of 35 knots and an average of around 33.5. Everything worked very well... but it always does on these slow runs. Still, it was b****y great to be back in action with the boat still looking so pretty.

Great job by all the team.

We are back and ready for more thrills... and hopefully less spills. Only four days left of this attempt and the wind isn't looking too flash. We'll see what mother nature throws us.

damn, it's good to be back.

Cheers, Paul.
