Hi there,
We are a little more than 30 hours into third leg. We already had quite a few restarts and there is another coming soon, here at the bottom of Sri Lanka.
Temperature outside is great for sailing. We don’t need wet weather gear, just a shirt to protect from the sun. Inside the boat is another story and the heat makes us sweat continuously and it is not nice even to rest quietly.
Our most favourite dishes, Chicken korma and Chicken Tikka don’t seem so nice anymore after we got used to real stuff in Cochin. It is nice to be back sailing but I wish the stop was a little longer so we could enjoy a little more of India.
Racing as usual has been pretty close, especially with this ‘stop and go's’ that recompresses the fleet. Wind has been light for periods but not too bad, so we are making good progress. After enjoying life at the extreme, life seems quiet onboard in these light conditions...
Fair winds,
Torben Grael - skipper
