We have been down in the Doldrums for well over a week now and in the last 7 days we have seen our 1st placing drop to 11th (averaging under 50 miles a day), At 6am this morning we were hit by 48 knots of wind----- but it only lasted briefly, it's a shame with all the hard work, we are going nowhere fast and we can see that the first half of the fleet have found the trade winds to Rio. On a positive note Matt has been doing a brilliant job keeping us motivated, when the wind does come we are ready to get competitive again.
I'm routing for Mission Performance and am frustrated to see you marooned so can't think how bad it must be for you. Go get em in the Ocean Sprint!
