After several gruelling days of upwind sailing, the decision on whether to continue onto Jersey is being debated at length by all of the Raiders.
They are being faced at Cherbourg with increasing westerly winds rising to 17 knots this afternoon. Jersey seems to hold a very similar forecast at 16 knots. The forecasts are from Windguru which measures average windspeeds, so gusts of nearly double can be expected.
The forecast for Friday and Saturday is increasing again from the west to a possible 19 knots.
However with the wind possibly going to Northerlys on Sunday, the wind is anticipated to drop to about 12 knots.
All raiders are extremely tired, but are pleased with their progress so far. And an update will be posted later.
