Cruising along nicely with the code 4 spinnaker on - very pleasant if not a little unusual. A lot of chat today about our little sweepstake on Cape Horn arrival - surprising how many of the lads think they have got the time spot on! I think Ericsson is running a competition around our bets (yes they are:  click http://info.ericssonmail.com/webform/survey.php?sess=105516bqupkjrgl3junWE&page=1 to enter and bet with the Ericsson 4 crew). 

To be honest I guess I would have put a bit more thought into it rather than my ‘get the ball rolling’ guess. It was actually last minute that I changed my bet from just being the 14th at 14:14 hrs. Anyway letting you in on who is really confident – let’s just say look at our Aussie and one of the multi-rounding Kiwis.

So all pleasant on Ericsson 4 as we surge downwind in a slightly confused, but large rolling sea. Waiting for the flood of miles to Ericsson 3 to stop and for us to start chiselling back a few - after all, the Nordic boys have done really nice work and there are a hell of a lot of miles for us to try and claw back!
