Kate is steering Topsham Toe in the Water with good effect and has managed to keep way on the boat. This has temporarily put them in the lead. The majority of the fleet have no wind and so have been swept North by the tide and are now further from the Mull of Gallway (the turning point and most southerly point of Scotland) than when they left Whitehaven. She puts it down to “good luck” and will be only too aware of how things can rapidly change. In the mean time Mike is kindly teaching Pete limericks – possibly an IT tradition that you must have a laugh before bed. Kate says she had to threaten the “awesome runner” Paul with rectal fluids he was so dehydrated. I am not sure if this was a joke (for him or for the others?) but she goes on to say “much laughter on boat”!
The team are very appreciative of the superb efforts of the back up team of David and Marilyn who are keeping them feed, watered, informed and smiling. It does sound a very happy team

Hi Andy! Thanks for keeping us all informed with the inside info via the blog. Bit exciting, isn't it?! Judging by your blog posting times, I dont think you are getting much more slep than the sailors!
