After successfully dropping injured crew members Tim Burgess and Nick Woodward off in the port of Chi-Lung Taiwan and finally escaping the port after some confusion about us wanting to leave ASAP rather than stopping overnight for soup and media press releases we finally managed to get immigration clearance and proceeded to sea.
As soon as Gold Coast was clear of port limits we hoisted the sails and continued racing. Basically our plan of attack is to regain the course that we were on 24 hours ago, trying to make the most of the Northern flowing currents. To do this we need to sail east for a couple of hours and then tack to the north. Unfortunately the wind is not really in our favour, but we are determined to try to regain some lost ground and expect to join in 4th position so hopefully we can catch the guys ahead in the remaining 700nm and get on the podium for Qingdao!
