One month into GBRow 2013 and Jason McKinlay and Josh Tarr in Savoir Faire, the only team still racing, are again at anchor in the harbour at Arbroath after a frustrating day battling head winds yesterday and then having to retreat back to Arbroath.
In a message to race HQ, Jason McKinlay says: “We are certainly better for trying that yesterday but need to take stock this morning and make the correct decisions.
“There are gales forecast and windows are short and not that sweet. Not sure what we’ve down to deserve this but at the end of the day we are still in it and even though the record looks dubious, we’ll get through this event somehow, sometime…sorry for the hold up.”
