Race day #2 for the great escape, with less wind today than yesterday, so unsure how we will escape 😆
Yay, the wind found us, we may actually make it around the course now 😆
What happens when there is no wind, well we are now bickering, no we are not (bob), says who (peter)?
Update from the foredeck crew. Crew today: Brian S***t Susanne S***t Gem, Peter, Bob Lambert and Emma Newman
Lonely Tower (race to the nab) just started. Video from after the start... I messed up the pre start video where Susanne S***t explained the course :( sorry guys.

We had several visits from our dolphin friends. The magical night-time pod couldn't be filmed but here is a collage of dolphin clips as we made our second pass of the Scilly Isles. A YB races image of our location during the race has been included.
The final 35 nm on Marta - Fastnet 2025 finish countdown after 5 days and 8+ hours of racing.
