Melbourne to Osaka Double Handed Race 2013. 27/04/13. 1800

After the heavy weather of this morning, Gusto, Funnelweb and Turbulence would be pleased it’s eased off a bit, but now it’s not the best of directions.

At the 6.00 pm sked Gusto reported all well, with a westerly of 16 knots, Funnelweb and Turbulence both have west to north west, 16 to 18. Turbulence still reporting a heavy swell.

Gusto needed to finish by tonight to claim best elapsed time, but now will not be into Osaka until Sunday.

Kiss Goodbye to MS and Southern Cross are still in a loose formation – now about 40 miles apart - making steady progress towards the finish.

Keep an eye on the tracker tomorrow for Gusto’s finish time.
