She'll break it, but it will be closer than it is now. no more than three days is my guess

I think it all depends on the generator. Remember she's got a crappy air cooled one that keeps conking out and the other one that is drinking far too much oil. She is very dependent on outside info for weather routing, if her electrics go down I think she'll be in real trouble. Fingers crossed! ------------- Fly Cherub! |

Lets not tempt fate, satalite has been down all day so the postion data is not getting through, lets hope that is as bad as her luck gets! On another note, Mike Golding is doing rather well too! ------------- FLAT IS FAST! Shifts Happen |

Yes, it's all very exciting. I used to be able to check on them a couple of times a day at work, but I've changed jobs now & I can only look in the evenings which is rather frustrating. ------------- Fly Cherub! |

Why is this posting in keelboat news? Should it not be in Multihulls? Also cannot post any comments about Nick Maloney here as he lost his (keel that is). Sorry Nick only joking it must be terrible to have got so far and that to happen to you. ------------- Bonnie Lass Contender 1764 |
