Sunday 10.49 setting sail again. Wow! Patrick and Paul have put in a flying run on Snowdon – doing the run from Caernathon docks to the peak of Snowdon and back in an amazing time of 3hr 35 minutes . They even kept smiling despite their breakneck pace! Their run was the second fastest of all the runners and very close to the course record. This has meant that Topsham Toe in the Water have overtaken 4 other teams on this leg and are now lying 8th out of 33 starters and are within 3 minutes of 5th! Well done boys!
Kate has sent a text from the boat showing spirits are high even if the boat is not perfect – she says.. “Water tank leaking, battery low, wind speed indicator dodgy. 2 hours sleep and our boys are flying round! It’s brilliant! :-) “
It is now a very tough sail / row against the very strong tide in the Menai straits. It is noticeable that the leaders are only 4.5km ahead despite having a lead of 1hr 40 minutes – still all to play for!
David Rochester is doing a great job not only providing food and water for the boat and shore based teams but also getting great photos to us from his phone. The picture below is Dipper – the Topsham Toe in the Water’s boat coming in to drop off their runners.
