News from the fleet:
Suidoos II
So near by so far. Luckily the wind filled in last night. Some real food is needed, feel like chicken. Can you please stop moving the island.
Sulanga
Very slow going at the moment with about 5 kn of wind. Hoped to get to the finishing line before Anastasia. Don’t think we will make it. 😪 we still have about 40 nm to go. Gained 10 nm to Anastasia over night but just not good enough.
There were some promising clouds but they have dissipated now.
