Sailing to the mulls

We have passed the mull of galloway and are now somewhere in the firth of clyde sailing towards the mull of kintyre. The wind is a bit fickle but seems to be there. We currently have all the sailors on deck as we have the spinnaker up and need to keep a sharp eye on things when the wind gets up. There are sounds of sail trimming from on deck.
Most of the sailing today has been quite chilled out in the sunshine. We think we are still reasonably ahead of the rest of the fleet but we never know when this might change and we haven't allowed ourselves to raise our hopes too much yet. Things are certainly looking better than they did when we were in the middle of the fleet tacking round bardsey.
The runners have been having a minor inquest on what happened on scafell pike. We felt like we ran well but the cycling let us down. Giving that when i sat on my iron steed at whitehaven it was the first time i had been on a bike since last year's three peaks yacht race there is clear scope for am improvement in my performance here. I need to address this. We do not know for sure wat the scafell pike result was. We know it was close.
We are thinking of our running strategy on ben nevis. Things really depend on how the sailing goes. We suspect that we could do better than last year if we really pushed it but will have to decide what the risk vs reward balance is when we get to corpach.
I am trying to sleep but am finding it hard. The best i seem to be able to do is to relax with the ipod on.
