Hard to get fleet data out here but I think we are keeping pace albeit at a price we are pounding this boat and rhe crew is exhausted I don't know if we can keep this up. We have made like 250 miles in the last 36 hours by flying a kite day and night in 20 knots plus with big following seas. It is not easy and no one can sleep. The boat is doing 9s constantly and 50 precent of the time in 11s and 12s. Everyrhing is creaking.We almost wish for a day of calm. Definitely pushing a miles hard. Our current plan is a risky one cutting the high so close but conditions favourable and we are throwing the dice. Too fast for fish.
