Fasnet



It's that time of year again when my brother heads off in a small boat to sail a long way. This year he is on Sailing Logic's Addiction Logic for the RORC Fastnet, a 608 mile race from Cowes, around Fastnet rock and into Plymouth. We spent yesterday on the green at Cowes watching the organised chaos of the race start. Conditions were just right that his class were close into shore as they crossed the start and we were able to see the opening jockeying for position, and finally spot Addiction. Current estimations put their arrival into Plymouth as late Thursday afternoon. I hope they all have a great sail, we'll be watching their progress here.
