Miss Sunshine and the wind eating clouds
Sidney Gavignet, getting fed up of their lack of wind on Artemis, but sailing with Miss Sunshine is the tonic: "I’m getting fed up with these nights of clouds, wind eating clouds. I can’t seem to remember our last decent night, must have been about five nights ago before the pilots started acting up. It’s hard to see the leaders always advancing towards the finish and us stuck impotent in these calms. We tried to get round it, but without success. It is lucky I sail with Miss Sunshine if not I’d be on the edge of ending myself. But, hey, there are worse things in life and, hello, it’s a beautiful morning."

Meteo
Meteo from Sunday 22nd
Sunday 22: A relatively stationary storm low pressure trough over the Gulf of Panama produces Easterly winds of 25 to 30 knots off the Columbian Coast whereas the winds are a little more stable in the east out towards the West Indies, closer to 15-20 knots. The two leaders will have to pass to the north of the depression to keep their speed, sailing more miles but that should enable them to keep their speeds up and avoid the softer winds on the southern route.
For those approaching the West Indies the trade winds remain at about 15-20 knots; they will need to make a longer starboard tack to make a long, more southerly course across the Caribbean.
