Turbulence Update in Melbourne Osaka Race.

News from Paul Tuesday afternoon.

G'day all, well another testing day out at sea we are entering our 4th straight day of breeze under 5 knots weve had the masthead kite up for last 24hrs and to say that its been a little frustrating would be a tad of an understatement! We love the messages of support like the one "what are you's doing you's are going nowhere" NO SHIT SHERLOCK! didnt we tell everybody that our plan was to find every hole and sit there pulling our hair out while we let all the boats catch up to us and let Escapade have more of a headstart before we start the chase! Weve had a great oppurtunity to assess what has gone wrong so far this trip and after a couple of days discussion the conclusion is that Eric is nothing but a Fricking JINX! Thats right hes a Jinx! Nearly beer Oclock so wont go on too much, we are anticipating stronger breezes tommorrow although thats been the scenario for the last two nights, not sure whats wrong with our tracker its on with 85% battery and in clear view of sky so apolagies to family and friends hopefully be sorted soon! Fingers crossed breeze arrives tommorrow and we can make some miles north, as a precaution we have hid all blades, knifes and sharps just in case!

Cheers Paul
