I did it! I managed to avoid all 300 Fastnetters! Last night, during the dark, it brought strong memories of a Dutch 24-uurs race, so many boats! And they were all on directly opposite course to me, and also on a starboard tack. So I had to avoid all of them. Not much sleep...

And worse, I am now becalmed, with only 20 miles to go. It feels a bit like the finish of the OSTAR, however, this time I just start the engine!
