Onboard Ericsson 4, June 26, 2009, 0043 GMT – Leg 10
The sun is just rising here and the 3.5 hours of night has finished - although it was more twilight than dark.
We have a lightening wind and very flat water as we head on starboard tack towards the Finnish coastline, which is a mere 25 miles away and littered with hundreds of rocks and small islands.
We also have Tele Blue just 10 boatlengths a beam and we can see that they have almost their entire crew on deck – hiking hard – it’s probably what we should be doing but the bunks are at capacity as we run our normal shifts.
It’s extremely pleasant at the moment – it’s cold on deck, but not bitterly cold and there is not a cloud in the sky.
