"We carried out the transfer of the watermaker to Skipper Lance on Liverpool 2018 this morning around first light and are now motoring our allowance of 4 degrees of latitude." Dale Smyth @DareToLeadRTW https://t.co/hwTtG0Gb14

"It has been a fast 24 hrs with a strong westerly wind pushing us into the Doldrums Corridor last night. We were happy to break free of the clutches of the windless zone yesterday and it has been fractionally cooler." @DareToLeadRTW https://t.co/FGyKhEBajI

"It’s been 24 hours of fairly light downwind sailing" Dale Smyth @DareToLeadRTW https://t.co/s3SWCtD6fg

[Clipper Round the World Yacht Race @ClipperRace]

"It’s a very tight tactical race so far. In fairness, almost the whole fleet is spread in an east west line and with the upcoming windholes and general confusion it could quite easily mean leaders to the back and tail enders to the front." @DareToLeadRTW https://t.co/pJUS4kEtTH

"The last 24 hours has been pretty brutal to say the least" Dale Smyth @DareToLeadRTW https://t.co/qWjPvJcfXJ

"We hoisted spinnakers this morning & sailed on into a dying breeze & have spent most of the day trying to make best progress in a windless ocean. Such a change from last week with flat seas, sunshine & a beautiful coastline to sail along." @DareToLeadRTW https://t.co/jDZ7ppA3oC

"It feels strange to actually be leaving the #SouthernOcean. It has been our constant companion since Punta del Este, Uruguay." @DareToLeadRTW https://t.co/5FimPGdAB8

"Another good fast night towards Tasmania, still trying to decide which gybe is best." Dale Smyth @DareToLeadRTW https://t.co/ARJQ0adN8P

"I took a stint at the helm this morning and hit 24.7 knots, the record of the day, and we continue to have nice big surfs." @DareToLeadRTW https://t.co/mFPiJOKxj1

"We are well more than half way across to Tazzie and the weather continues to look favourable. We are trying to work our way from the back of the fleet one place at a time which gives us some focus." @DareToLeadRTW https://t.co/kpEwo9Q7uH

"The wind has gone very nicely behind us & we were able to hoist spinnakers in a flat sea, in a perfect line for Tasmania. It's still relatively warm on deck & dry so we haven't had a need yet for any heavy duty wet weather clothing." @DareToLeadRTW https://t.co/NMK2gzLoJc
