Jackknife tacked away to try the other side of the sound while Mojito floated past hoping for more wind being funnelled through the islands.
Now joined by the two Sunfast 3200's ZigZag and Jac y Do two hours after they had arrived, Jackknife appeared to be parked for the night under the cliffs of the headland so put up their kite in a desperate attempt to get the boat moving. Mojito appeared to be in a worse position as they were floating backwards between the two islands watching the slightest of zephyrs on the water, all frustratingly too far out of reach. The discussion onboard was a debate on how Bear Grylls managed to keep the flag flying on his island with such vigour while all around there was no wind to be seen. Boredom started to set in, so up went Mojito's kite - at least it would dry it out after a heavy 10 days of sailing.
The view back towards St Tudwals as the sun sets during Race 15 with Zig Zag just behind Jac Y Do using any zephyrs of wind it could, Mojito and Jackknife ahead.- photo Rich Mawby
