Passed Sri Lanka gate

The beach looks inviting, but this time I have to pass as not to loose out in the BetaII



Yesterday in a veering westerly winds I could pass The Sri Lanka gate and later also the SW coast of Sri Lanka. 
It was a busy day with looking for the best moments for a tack, go SW not in this block but better the next block and thus this un-realistic sailing strategy works out in the ranking list.
Major advantage of these stable winds is that no sail changes required which saves a lot of energy for the Crew, leaving some for an additional tack to round the coast at closer distances.
Rank this moring : 342
