matchtace

What a miscalculation we made. Thought we could follow rhumbline and keep enough distance from the very little winds. Bit that happened not to be true. Frida on the other end was 35nm north and their investment in a gybe and tack north earlier paid out. We sam them coming and overtake us unless we gybe and sail north as fast as we can and see if we can meet up with them and makenit a matchrace. Consider the 65 nm lead we had earlier in the race. 😑πŸ˜₯β˜ΉοΈπŸ™„πŸ˜‚

It gives a good race and must be fun to watch on the tracker. We managed to cross about 2 miles of Frida. Where we suddenly had to deal with a cargoship at the scene as well. In our imagination, and in the pitchdark, it was a spectatorship watching the race.

Now we are racing cheek to cheek. Flying to the steps of the continental shelf.
We do miss our Code5 which we ruined in the outward leg, in this last part of the race.
