RETIREMENTS ALREADY

After just over 30 hours of racing I can report that there have already been two retirements from the race. Team Concordia and Hot Stuff continue to stay mid fleet and should be rounding Plymouth and on their way to the rock by the end of today. Looking at the weather I think it has thrown a few curveballs but I am sure the team are coping admirably. At about the time I write this they should be tucking into their last home cooked meal of the trip and I am hoping that some of the spices I have put in their chilli will give them an extra blast of power as they continue to surge on in this notorious race.
From now on it is mainly MOD ration packs that will keeping them going apart from their wonderful porridge for breakfast kindly sponsored by Grasshopper.
The last update we have was at 1830hrs and they were 107th overall and 21st in IRC1.
