The downloaded weather seems to give us a SE for tomorrow morning, so might be a spinnaker start - quite a challenge for the crew, as they didn't get much practice on the Cervantes - just put it up at the Needles and took it down off Le Havre. And, for the second half of the race, a friendly, backing wind to the North seems to favour our return too! But light winds over Saturday night may bring the tide into play in a big way, so kedging might be a possibility. We will have to spend some time figuring out the race tactics carefully. This is going to be a pretty interesting race!
