Johnny Vincent’s TP52, Pace, is having a close battle with boats on the water, as navigator, Mike Broughton explains via satellite link:<\/p>\n

We are presently four miles south of Stromboli gybing on the shifts and playing nip and tuck with Wild Joe and and the other TP 52 – Lucky who have us on corrected time at the moment. <\/p>\n

We had a great race up until about 0600 this morning when we parked up with most of the rest of the fleet 15 miles east of Catania. After a short lived windy run through the Messina Straits, we are now sailing in light airs just three miles behind E1 and Alegre. <\/p>\n

Weather looks light until we see the approach of the cold front which should pass us about 1800 on Monday. Conditions then look lively and will make it a quick remainder of the race – could well be ‘fresh to frightening’ for a short while for a few boats. It looks as if umbrellas could be useful!<\/p>\n

Our only drama and breakage so far has been to the port upper bunk that has broken. The finger of blame is being pointed at ‘Fumsey’ – the ‘honourable member for Hamble west’, but he is denying it profusely! <\/p>\n

He has however voluntarily helped mend it. Spirits are still high and the boat forever pretty wet down below.<\/p>\n

cheers <\/p>\n
