Aboard Temenos II the scene has finally changed, and even though the wind
continued to blow stronger at the front of the fleet for part of the day,
Dominique is enjoying feeling his boat accelerate.
There was nothing that could be done to avoid the loss of ground suffered
yesterday by the chasing pack. At sea the weather can dish out conditions
that no strategy can outsmart. The tradewinds which the head of the fleet
are enjoying have been something those in hot pursuit had to wait their turn
for. It proved to be a long transition period and we can well imagine how
hard it has been on their nerves. This wait is ancient history now though
and since this morning the NE'ly tradewind has been filling the sails of
Temenos II........
