I've just been sent this email by Andy Oliver taken off Scuttlebutts' website. I've sent it to the crew to amuse them. I've explained to them that the tracking system had got confused - bit it's jolly nice that Scuttlebutts knew what else we've done.
In Class Zero, Peter Hopps' GY51, Nisida is in pole position. The boat races all over the world and won class in last year's Rolex Middle Sea Race. David Aisher's Rogers 46, Yeoman XXXII has had a set back after their terrific start: "During the night we got hit by a squall blowing out the A3 spinnaker." Commented David Aisher. "We were without a spinnaker for three hours but have now rounded the top of St. Martin and are screaming along at 20 knots plus on our way to Guadeloupe."
The one and only retirement so far is in Class Zero is Edward Krubasik's First 47.7, Gilly B who pulled into St. Eustacia over night. They have a broken gooseneck but all are well on board, if a little disappointed.
