Clipper YachtswomanIn the doldrums
Posted by Clipper Yachtswoman at 9:53am on Fri 18 Apr 08
This last leg has been hard as our race was pretty much over halfway through when we got becalmed. And when it is cold and wet it is a little gutting knowing that the others have all arrived.

We are also rapidly becoming the worst boat in the fleet with 3 last places out of the last 4, and it is hard not to become a little down. The cold weather and constant beating hasn't helped, but we should be in Santa Cruz tomorrow, and things always seem better in the bar!
