19/11/2009 : Currently in 7th spot, this is Aviva's news this morning

"We have just spent darkness coasting along in a dying breeze under a canopy of bright stars. Flat water and warm tempratures have made it an uneventful but also a wonderful night's sailing. As predicted we will be fighting light airs with those around us. If we can keep working hard and keep at the front of this little group then we will reach the stronger breeze in about 36 hours quicker. It is amazing getting a grib file now for weather information and realising how far we have come because we are also getting the Caribbean weather too now. To play tribute to this particularly tropical theme we also celebrated shower day onboard Aviva. So now she and her dynamic duo smell of roses as you would expect."
