A solid three iron.
That is what it would take to wack a golf ball off the mainsails of half the fleet at this stage. We are literally drifting off the coast of Malaysia and its major city Kuala Lumpur.
And when I say there is no wind, I mean complete glass off. E4 came up to the E3, Telefoncica Blue and ourselves just after the sun set and the breeze died from in front of us. Fortunately the tide is with us at this stage and we are making somewhere between .5 and 1.5 knots toward the finish. T-Blue just snuck off a bit (as they always seem to do in drifting conditions) and we actually have lost sight of E3. Mainly because their stern light has blended in to the lights on the 100 or so fishing boats that surround us.
I wish I could say that this wasn't expected but it was. Fishing boats and all...straight out of the leg three travel guide.
There is still much more racing to go, about 200 miles worth, which at this pace may seem like 2000 at time.
