Patience paid off, blast reaching since we broke into the synoptic breeze feeling good as we charge along the route. Had some fun with the Navy life firing demonstration yesterday. Had to commence negotiations with them at 0800hrs on the 14th as the commanded us to deviate from our 230 degree course to due south 180 degrees for 35 nautical miles. Once we explained to them what we were up to, and noted another 20 boats were following a similar line they agreed to allow us to steer 200 degrees... a great result given the alternative... Hope everyone is having a great race, next 24-48 hrs tweaking the slot will be interesting.

All the best. Mike Team Maverick
