Phillipe thanks for the clear image of the Finish in Itajai.

that we cannot miss Laughing

for bringing your boat along, I can give it a try, but cannot promise to keep her in the lead Rolling Eyes
just PM me the details and hand me the keys and if you had a plan in mind, you may as well PM and I will follow.

Winds are nice now and Cape Horn comes maybe for a fools day passing Wink

It looks like Blackcat..loco.. has moored in the port of Puerto Montt , maybe she has damage and needs repairs Question Anyway a good possibility for us to catch up.

13) Propuh passed the Cape Horn gate, must have been somewhere around 07:00 gmt.

WARNING for ROTloloha , your boat is visiting a rough rock

All boats on final leg now.

and I see Blackcat..loco.. sailed the strait of Maghelhaen Laughing A beautiful narrow to sail , I have to admit, but in doing so missed the Cape Horn Gate Embarassed But I see that now she is sailing SE, maybe still coming to see all boats of our fleet pass the gate before start sailing again.

Contrary to the Real VOR race, it is becoming very exciting and close racing for the sailors in our 9 Pack Serie .

There are 4 boats close and 2 more a little farther to leeward in better winds, a 30Nm spread only Exclamation . So I guess we have still 6 candidates for the podium in Itajai. I clock it for just over 2 days sailing, for the present wind forecast that is.

I see a welcome committee on board Nuts2yer coming towards us to cheer ur for the last day or so Laughing

Sail on , Fair winds and don't over stress your mast or hull, such that we all can sail safely into Itajai for a flashing Brazilian party Wink

Groupama were tonight limping towards a haven in Uruguay after being forced to suspend racing from the fifth leg after the mast broke with a second successive victory agonisingly close.

Groupama sailing team a suspendu sa course sur l’étape 5 à 15h42 UTC aujourd'hui. Les Français venaient de casser leur mât au dessus du premier étage de barre de flèches.

Question

Sure it is not the disappearing friend gremlin? I am not in that race at the moment so can't check.

All I know about this race is that each time I check in the winds are sending my marks to the south-west. Staying heading north is needing lots of course changes.

Oh dear, what a forecast update. No problem heading north now. The question is, how do I get back west? Shocked

Ahh now I udnerstand, that gremlin shifting Sowslo's marks but also shifting my mark to the West.

I find myself too much west , and fear that I have lost the podium by now. Sad

Anyway LS promise me a finish today, that is in gmt terms Laughing So lets see how it works out, as Sowslo still have to sail west , what I by mistake did already Wink

Hi 9packers Very Happy

tonight will be the deciding moment for the Podium places. Laughing

I am setting my boat for the beaching at Itajai , behind the Finish line,
for ease I copy the image from Phillipe to help finding the right beach .
Finish Line (Itajai) :
- Position buoy F1 : 26°55'46"S / 48°37'37"W
- Position buoy F2 : 26°49'30"S / 48°36'15"W



it is a little tricky beach , yes it is.

So I hope someone is around to observe and record the finishing order and I will see it tomorrow Laughing

fair winds, Laughing
