It's definitely been an intense past 24 hours.

We had fast sailing conditions through the night, the picture is of Paul showing off his helming at over 20knots in 30knots of breeze.

I occasionally shine a torch to the sails to check the trim, otherwise the only other lights are a billion dots above our head in a perfect starry sky.

Would you like to join Paul Peggs and I on my  Class 40 yacht for the Fastnet race?
