@willintyne @metoffice It’s a weather warning for that area, if you want a weather forecast for where you are just look at the forecast for where you are, or do you want a specific non warning… 😂

Interesting move going all the way under the tss as well, I would have gone up inside the tss, hope it works. @SailMarta #rolexfastnetrace

Do not watch what the boats ahead might do going past lands end, think about the plan.. @SailingMarta

[Nick Gale @nick7gale]

The move South does look to be working, hang in there, there's a long way to go @SailMarta @RORCRacing #rolexfastnetrace

[Nick Gale @nick7gale]

@SailMarta I would have to say that overnight I was starting to wonder if the tracker was on the wrong boat 😬

@RORCRacing @SailMarta although slightly back on schedule having forgotten plan b for Portland everything should hopefully be back on track

[Nick Gale @nick7gale]

@SailMarta @RORCRacing And looks good..

[Nick Gale @nick7gale]

@RORCRacing @SailMarta And with the tide turning in just an hours times, it does look like Brian may have played a blinder! Having now tacked the game is on.. :)

[Nick Gale @nick7gale]

@RORCRacing @SailMarta the tide will turn soon, boats further south will gain again, so a return to the plan may happen. #rolexfastnetrace

[Nick Gale @nick7gale]

@RORCRacing @SailMarta Now rather confused as to why Marta are carrying on so far left when the plan was always to stay right till mid night.. #rolexfastnetrace

[Nick Gale @nick7gale]

@RORCRacing @SailMarta #rolexfastnetrace missing the tide at Portland needs specific action, I just hope Marta remember what we talked about

[Nick Gale @nick7gale]

@SailMarta @RORCRacing Now seems to be going not quite to plan, rather than staying right and in past Portland Marta are carrying on South. #rolexfastnetrace

[Nick Gale @nick7gale]

@SailMarta @RORCRacing I am glad to say Marta seem to be following the plan perfectly, and are now leading the Sigmas and 9th in IRC4 #rolexfastnetrace

[Nick Gale @nick7gale]

@SailMarta @RORCRacing As the Sigmas now exit the Solent, Marta and With Alacrity are vying for the lead of the class! #rolexfastnetrace

[Nick Gale @nick7gale]

@SailMarta @RORCRacing More detail is currently difficult as the #rolexfastnetrace website currently appears to be down

[Nick Gale @nick7gale]

@SailMarta @RORCRacing The start all seems to have gone to plan, the tracker has problems but appears With Alacrity also went from a similar spot #rolexfastnetrace

[Nick Gale @nick7gale]

@SailMarta @RORCRacing Good luck for the battle out of the Solent, race hard, have fun, and win! #rolexfastnetrace

RIP Andrew Simpson, a sailor we have aspired to equal and is a very sad loss to us all... Thoughts go to his family and friends..

Artemis ac72 has flipped with apparently the loss of the life of one of the crew members..
