Webmaster Steve: Chris called at 1630 GMT to say he was gunning to get into harbour tonight so had no time to e-mail his usual blog! The following is transcribed from the phone call… It’s pretty difficult to judge timings out here what with the wind and waves having such a larger effect on mileage. The upshot is, all through last week it looked on for a Monday finish, but getting caught in the eddy I mentioned a couple of days ago meant Tuesday morning looked likely. Well, last night and today, strong winds in my favour mean I’m going to try and get in tonight, sometime before midnight. (ed-I think he said 0400 GMT) I had feared getting into harbour at night but learnt that when close enough a RIB will be sent out to guide me in. So I’m going for it! Sorry if I’ve come across as being down these last few days, I suppose its just being a bit scared of what lies ahead! Chris Chris Martin in Pacific Pete is from Surrey UK and is the only male solo competitor http://www.transatlanticforce.co.uk/ Event website http://www.atlanticrowingrace.co.uk |
