40 Degrees continues to hold 2nd place

TRANSLATION OF HALVARD'S REPORT:
Sorry not to have sent an e-mail during the night, but I was using my insomnia for things other than writing.
Monday went quite well. There is no need for me to summarise our tactics, as you already know all that thanks to modern electronics. Anyway, it was tactically interesting.
That was until the tactical options for Appart City, Moonpalace and 40 Degrees were partly limited by a firing exercise off Lulworth, meaning that it wasn’t us, but a military vessel, which dictated when to tack. So offshore we went.

Other than that, we had a night of no wind, and a passage at "Start" Point which should be renamed "Stop" Point, given the number of boats which have found themselves parked there since offshore racing has existed.

Then there was the Bay of Plymouth, which is very beautiful, even if we haven’t been able to see anything today, followed by Lizard Point for dessert.

I will try to get up during the night to write to you, but I’m not sure I will hear the alarm.

A bientot
