Mission accomplished!See you in St. Barth...

2 days  10 hours 53 minutes 4 seconds in real time: RORC Caribbean 600, the perfect race in terms of fun and competition is done!

Final position over all 12^th, 10^th in real time on the whole fleet of 60 yachts.

Everybody on board is smiling, happy, satisfied for the nearly 59 hours sailed together. We crossed the finish line on Wednesday 26 at 22:23 local time. Genoa is than furled, mainsail is dropped, and after few minutes Fabrizio is manoeuvring Cape Arrow back to her dock fighting with the lights on deck and ashore to  identify the approach channel to harbour. RORC warm welcome is stunning! 3 ladies with 2 cases of iced beers are waving at us from the dock, ready to shoot a picture with the RORC600 banner well at sight and careful to collect back Yellowbrick tracker, skipper declaration etc.

Roberta and Lana are ready to jump on board, just in time to join us for the next mission: now it is finally time to celebrate honouring our Russian guests tradition. Vodka is on the table and shots are drunk at the end of each speech done by Igor, Kirill, Andrea C., Fabrizio, Andrea M……I am afraid some of us do not exactly remember all the speeches! European crew is well represented by Carlos (Catalan!) in proving that we too can properly drink a shot of vodka from a glass sitting on the elbow. Couple of Italians try, but we must admit this discipline doesn’t see us among the favourites!!

Lorenzo Mazza  resumed this adventure in some words: “Having had the opportunity to live on board for the duration of the event, I can easily say how much I enjoyed it! Very easy and nice boat to sail, efficient and reliable with the systems”.

Congratulation to everybody. Thank you to everybody!

See you in  St. Barth on March 27^th where Cape Arrow will show again her racing aptitude on the Bucket Regatta!
