Team Whistler just received their on-board press conference from representatives of just about every major media outlet in Tassie, standing on Gigi's foredeck. Jory Linscott became team spokesman by default as skipper David Rees was obviously sleeping.
The boat is several nautical miles offshore of Schouten and sailing under full main and symmetric kite. Runner Michael McIntyre appeared to be helming with other runner Jacqui Guy on deck and Jory overseeing things.
Couldn't pick a better day for sitting on deck in shorts and shirts- not a cloud in the sky now and only five knots or so.
Bigger boats Haphazard and Deguello are each about 3nm ahead. We'll catch Haphazard next for a report. They have a big symmetric kite up on shy reach as they blew out assy on way to Flinders. Deguello flying their assy but having trouble keeping it filled in light breeze.
