Good run down until behind La Soufriere at bottom of Guadeloupe. Had a sense of dj vu as I came on watch only to be becalmed for most of it just as happened in 2009 on Yeoman.
Now escaped and round Les Saintes in good breeze. Sadly seem to have lost the 3 boats that were with us all down the long leg. Fear they escaped the calm patch first. Suspect we have another 24 hrs to go.
