Fog Fog Fog! I've seen fog before, when I lived in Maine, and even a little on the lakes at home, but even that doesn't compare to mid-Atlantic fog! We cannot see a thing! Only 2-3 boat lengths of visibility. We are currently 175nm south east of St John 's. Steady winds and moderate sea state. We just sailed past Hibernia oilfield, and only 60 nm to the Flemish pass, the outer skirt around the famous Flemish Cap! However I only know all this from the navigation...with all the fog, I would of guessed we're still off CapeBreton! It rolled in over night, and when I arrived on deck this morning at 5am it was everywhere! We are slowly gaining on Qingdao and TeamFinland! We are holding steady 10 knots SOG and surfing waves well into 11-12 knots. Cork claims the fog does lift once past the outer of the Grand Banks and the Flemish Cap. Winds are expected to come around the next 48 hours, and then increase to 35+ knots. We will change our sail plan well in advance to be prepared for the weather ahead! Should be an exciting ride!
