Hi Everyone!
It's 6 p.m. and we're sailing toward
Nevis. This morning, during the preparation for the start procedures, there
were 25 kts, so we decided to reef the main sail and set the foresail. But,
thanks to our old boys (Sergey and Guido) who sensed a drop in the wind
strength, we changed our mind and set the full sail. The decision was
remarkable, we overtook some favourite and bigger boats!
Then the route towards Barbuda was a
little tricky as we were between a beam reach and a board reach, so the guys on
board started setting and hauling down continuously the gennaker with a good
team spirit! Anyway all has gone flawlessly.
Unfortunately without a proper sail for
this condition we loosed position, but after the Barbuda's mark we set the big
gennaker for the downwind and things improved.
Despite little complications onboard, we
keep going straight to the end of the race.
Saluti,
See you soon!
Andrea
