Deep ocean match racing continues

The latest news from Marco down in the Southern Ocean –

It’s another pleasant sail today in the Southern Ocean, reaching west in
warm Northerly winds. We are sailing with Phesheya Racing in sight just
behind our stern now, we chatted on VHF a few times exchanging jokes and
banter, which is really nice, sharing the adventure with your competitors
i think is part of this great race.

On the VHF chat we all expressed our gratitude for the extremely nice
conditions that we are being blessed with and which should be with us
another while still as it seems we’ll manage to keep with this weather
system for a few days… we really cannot complain. Both Hugo and I are
trying to bank on as much sleep as possible, an investment for when things
will get tougher and being alert could make the difference between
breaking and breaking through…

As thing are quieter on board i’d like to take the opportunity to thank
Patrick Hemp who came to help us in Cape Town with the preparations of the
boat, he shares the passion for the sea and yachting and has great
experience in design as well as project management and coordination, you
