We are not crazy!

When we decided to race this fantastic event, we agreed we would have raced with comforts. We were aware this could have brought us in front of some hard decisions, such us: should we privilege comfort or a fast, thus rough, route?

Few days ago we decided to give some ease to our guests and we pointed South: we knew it was a sort of racing suicide, which would have, put us in the middle of a no-wind-bubble growing in front of us. Nevertheless, we gave a chance to our chef and hostess: will they be so good to allow us forgiving this crazy decision? 
Will Niki, Guido and the rest of the team entertain the guests and crew in such a pleasant way that nobody will ever regret this call? Will fishing sessions hurry up the rhythm of the next couple of days…?

To be honest we hoped in a supernatural luck, as we wished (until this morning) that the no-wind- area would have disappeared allowing us to go through at 13-14 kts. We admit it was only wishfull thinking. It is clear it is not the case….we enjoy the last few hours sailing at a decent speed. 

Well, what to do? We will enjoy the warm trade winds, the colors of the sky, we will enjoy the delicatessen Nico will serve us, and we will look forward to some more serious  racing!

Cheers,

Cape Arrow

PS: Tiny can relax for a while: so far he is leading the Cape Arrow-Transatlantic top speed board.

We are afraid nobody will even get close to his 22,3 kts for a while!
