Telefonica Blue Leg 4 Day 4

We were passed on both the left and the right side, not a good day for the blue boat.  We were parked for a long time, a finally got moving again this afternoon.

The good news is that we have a good push from the current, in the right direction. The boats all have spread out now, some staying more offshore and some going towards the Philippines. Offshore there is more breeze, but a less favourable shift, inshore maybe less pressure (that is what I hope). 

There is still more than 35 hours to go the waypoint and all upwind. The sun is out, and a very nice temperature, at least that is right and all the boys are well, eating and drinking plenty, so that is a good sign.
