Daring make or break manoeuvre

Just noticed from the live tracking that our lads have decided to take a dash round to the west of Jura through the Sound of Islay, presumably in the hope of finding favourable winds, and possibly to avoid the infamous Corryvreckan Whirlpool at the north end of Jura. All the teams in front have chosen the more popular route up the Sound of Jura. This may be a make-or-break move by the Dockers, who looked unlikely to catch the boats in front. A bold and brave decision. Stand by your beds…!
