> Saturday 2 July, 1100hrs Z. Position: 43deg 48N, 53deg 57 W - about 170 NM
> due S of the SE tip of Newfoundland.

> NSTR - nothing significant to report! Pretty flat conditions, light winds
> for the past 24hrs and making about 5kts to the NE (broadly on the great
> circle route). We're about 50 NM from the Grand Banks.

> For a crew of tea drinkers (we started the race with 720 tea bags) we've
> made the calculation that we don't have enough gas to brew as much tea as we
> would like, as well as cook dinner. So a major rationing to just 2 brews a
> day, from 2 brews per watch! Ouch. Other than that, all is well and
> spirits remain high.

> We have no idea where the other yachts are, but suspect Carina is to the

> slow-moving occluded front and likely to have a bit more breeze. Any
> indicators (range and bearing) much appreciated. And who is in the
