We were supposed to do a photo shoot as we left New York in front of the Statue of Liberty; But sadly it was so foggy that we couldn't actually see the Statue, & that has been the story pretty much since. The start was farsical as 10 boats tried to race in little wind. Spinnakers went up & straight back down again. Boats pointed all over the place, to try & get some wind and clean air, & I had no idea whether we were one of the ones pointing in the right direction or not!The fog has rolled in & out constantly since - sometimes you could only see a few hundred yards ahead & we crossed our fingers & hoped that the radar was working! At one point an orange blob loomed towards us - a large tanker? in the end just Hull and Humber, but perhaps a lucky escape. & the fog makes it cold - really cold. We got pretty excited this morning as the sun appeared, but it was a brief appearance until the fog came back.
