Dear Pete - never heard of the Route du Rhum until last Thursday when we were in Dinan (near St Malo). Now really into tracking the race and wishing you well. I haven't sailed for over 20 years but am really getting back into the excitement. Take care and I hope the southern route proves the right choice. Give Madeira a wave for me on the way past - I have a timeshare there! Best of luck. Alison, Worcester Park.

Ahoy Pete!Great to see you and DMS doing so well and glad your enjoying being out in the watery nivana.I reckon you made the right move heading south early!! In fact 80% of the inebreated sailing "experts" in my local think that was the best decision too!! Nice to be warmer sooner.It Will be an exciting finish for sure. Good luck and fair winds.

Hi Pete, Just been reading the messages, and so much goodwill, affection and inspiration you generate. No surprise to me, I'm there in full measure. It's wonderful to read and almost touch, your excitement and challenge at being single-handed again and where you love to be.
All good speed and fortune. Martin

Hi Pete, thanks for the feedback reports en route, certinly gives us a taste, looks like you might gt a bit of payback in the next day or two. It was a treat to help Colin & Tom move the DMS around for the "official launch", and "Spirit" too. Quite some machines. All best to you and all the others for the rest of the trip.

......: Hi Pete, I am enjoying reading your blog each day and our thoughts are with you for the race as we had porridge & rasins for breakfast. Also crawling about the back of the boat under the cockpit to fit the Speedwind regulator, dump resistors etc in the service space between transom and after cabin bulkhead. None of the racing boats fit a wind gen so assume it knocks off too much performance for you.
All the best, Phil

Gini Wells

Hi Pete,
I'm finding it very difficult to tear myself away from the trackers - the kids and I check in daily first thing in the morning before lessons begin! They are learning a lot about wind direction and pressure systems while they watch your progress and your blogs have really fired them up (hence several messages from them here!). Thanks for sharing the experience with us and making it so immediate and real.
We send you our very best wishes for continued good winds and fast sailing in the good ship DMS.
Gini (and Year 5 from Littletown Primary)

Mate,
It is awesome that technology allows me to see and hear you afloat out there in the 'oggin. The fact that you repeat how much you are ENJOYING yourself speaks volumes. Boat looks great, as do you. God speed.
