LEG 5 SO FAR

Leg 4 has changed the race completely. Vandal has extended its lead to
24 hrs. We have confirmed our 2nd position cause Velocity Girl finished
about 24 hrs after Home of Jazz. The differences are so big that it
looks rather unlikely to change. But you never know in very light airs.
After the start of leg 5 we had good winds until just past Dover. Harry
anchored in a nice spot: just on top of the entrance to the Channel
Tunnel, really close to the shore in 12 meters water, to avoid the
current which would set us backwards. We stayed at the anchor from 11am
to 4pm. In light Werly winds we made it (finally) past Dungeness. During
the night a nice breeze picked up and we rounded Beachy Head early this
morning.
Today again calms weather in the forecast. We cant anchor where we are
now (too deep), so we hope that the breeze will stay for a while.
All well on board of Home of Jazz.
