Race 3 - Day 4: Excellent conditions for South Alantic Race
EMT Ambassador Dan Monk and Jamaica are sitting in 6th at 06.00 this morning (Saturday). The race tracker today shows the fleet spread in a 125 nautical mile
arch from south west to north east but separated by just 55 nautical
miles to the finish. With two possible routing options, due south or to
the south east, there was much discussion in port and furious studying
of the weather data to choose the correct path upon leaving Salvador.
Time will tell which proves the better tactic but for now the eastern
pack has been ticking off more miles to the finish by sailing the more
direct route, albeit more slowly. Durban 2010 & Beyond
found themselves out of sight of the other boats overnight when they
continued their easterly path but have dived south again to stay in
touch with the fleet.
