Race 8 day 6
Life is still at an angle in the Clipper race, the crews have been experiencing between 20 and 30 knots of headwinds since they departed Hawaii at the weekend. Although this can be exciting sailing it can be damp and makes life difficult to manoeuvre down below, we get the feeling that a return to sunny down wind sailing would be a welcome one!
It seems it is still a very close race out in the Pacific with EMT ambassador Dan Monk and the rest of the crew on Nova Scotia only 27 knm from the lead boat. Positions are changing all the time; the upwind conditions can mean that there are lots of tactical decisions to be made in order to come out in front.
