The current wind off the Lizard is around 27 knots...
just as well as six hours later it will be well over 60 knots!
Update at 17:43 as the skipper keeps the crew on their toes with another change of course running before the wind...
Update at 17:30 - a big gybe and heading for the Lizard - don't get too close guys the overfalls in the shallow water deep off the Lizard are just not nice - more like #HellOnHighSeas...
Thirty four hours after leaving Belfast the Dongfeng has rounded Land's End - and after making a steady 10 knots for much of the time she is now making up to 17 knots! - not quite quick enough to catch sight of MFV Algrie heading home for Newlyn...
and with a Nor'westerly 10 forecast she might make even more speed - let's hope the celebrity crew including @missAlexJones from the @BBCTheOneShow enjoy the ride.
