Race 2 - Day 13: Jamaica currently in 9th at 06.00 this morning
Having suffered from fickle wind conditions Jamaica and EMT Ambassador Dan Monk appear to have joined the rest of the fleet in steady trade winds from the positions at 06.00 this morning. Jamaica is currently sitting in 9th with just over 2000 miles to go. As the fleet approaches the Doldrums the positions are likely to change many more times before the finish in Salvador.
Dan summed up the last few days in a email from the boat "The last couple of days has been hard,we have had light winds and strong heat.In the light winds its hard to keep the spinnaker flying so you are constantly trimming everything to keep the boat moving,and its so hot it just makes everything that much harder.I'm learning loads about squalls and what type of clouds bring what type of weather,it's so much clearer out here in the ocean,you really can see what your in for and as the winds are so light,a squall which brings wind is more than welcome. I'm seeing lots of flying fish witch are awsome to watch and dolphins at night with the phosphorescence are just magical.Jamaica has dropped a few places due to the light winds but the race is not over yet!."
