The wind has filled back in again out here in the Baltic and we have a mere 95 miles to go to Stockholm. It has been a tight battle all the way with Telefonica Black and Delta Lloyd. We have made a bit of a jump on Delta Lloyd recently and I just hope we can hold on to this edge over the next 5 or 6 hours. Telefonica Black are about 500 metres ahead so we are keeping the pressure on them. We can still see the leaders ahead but it would need a ‘park up’ for us to catch them from here. This leg has been fast and furious but will be remembered for Telefonica Blue’s crash on the rocks. We still don’t know how serious this is but we have heard that thankfully nobody was injured. The last thing Jamie said to me when we left Marstrand was to not hit the rocks! This coastal sailing is good fun but very demanding in these boats - I think we have moved the sails more on this leg than any other! Not long to go now before this great adventure is over. There is a distinct end of term feel to things as people start to worry about what they will do next. For me I am still not thinking much beyond St Petersburg - from here it is only 1 in port race and 500 miles away - less than a Fastnet Race!
