Making the Best of the Storm

Yesterday we got a strong NE storm to battle with. It was almost straight head-on to the next Gate#3 Ko-Jima.


So a play of tacking at the best times to try to surprise but most of all to pass the other boats. 
Well, I did reasonably well , my ranking has improved fantastic from yesterday 209 to this morning 67 ! These ranking places depend also on which side of a tack you are and yesterday I was looking for a favorable location for the better winds; so you loose a little to win a lot. 


For a view on my route see the green line in the Map "Japan_Sprint Route", on right most TAB above . 


Not so long before I will pass the Ko-Jima gate and then it is almost straight to the Finish in Tokyo, be it that there are some islands on route. Also Tokyo is situated in a bay, so some tricky sailing is coming. AND ........this all will of course happen during my following night time, so I have to work out a sharp WP scheduler setting.
