Some rather good news this morning. We were able to hoist our first big headsail during the night, the code 0 to be precise. The wind came around and we were able to adopt a route that was no longer upwind as it has been for 9 days. The speeds benefit from that and at times we have practically doubled our speed. In the past hour, we had an average of almost 20 knots with the boat flat on the water, sailing quickly. The keel is whistling, which is an indicator of the speed. The routing looks good, as we should finish in less than four days, so on Monday night or at worst, Tuesday morning in Martinique. I think there is still the possibility of catching most of the pack with their southern option. Not the leaders, of course, but at least the second group. That would be fantastic, seeing we set sail 36 hours after them.
