I went out to watch with our current neighbour on Kasira. The start was quite dramatic with a good breeze blowing. Sadly, the pictures are not that spectacular as the photographer was not really doing a very good job!
We impressed with their speed but also slightly alarmed by the number of near broaches on the start line. Good luck to them all of course. They should be back in Les Sables D'Olonne in six or seven days for the fastest. We hope to be half way to Falmouth by then.

I've just heard from Roger via satellite phone - he's calling in every few days for updated weather forecasts.
Sarah Giddings is currently at 45º 10' N 17º 30 W - around level with Bordeaux and half way back to Falmouth!
They've been having some light winds, with some more on the way, but managed 120nm in the last day. With luck they'll be in Falmouth on Friday.
