Marco takes Second Place on Southern Ocean leg, lying second overall

We are in Punta del Este! Celebrations Celebrations Celebrations!

We made it! We are in Punta del Este Uruguay, 35 days at sea! We have sailed through gale force winds, we reached across the depths of the Southern Ocean with albatrosses to guard our progress, we clenched our teeth through the icebergs, we fought with the icy winds from Anctartica, we rounded the most dreaded cape in the world, we sailed through the snow capped cliffs of la Tierra del Fuego, we caught kelp in our rudders and watched spectacular sunsets and sunrises, we smelt land by the shores of Argentina and crossed the muddy waters of the Plata river, but most of all we kept our dream alive, one step closer to home, one step closer to
racing around the world. And what a result, we are second in Punta and climbed to second place in the overall leaderboard!!!

We’ve just arrived and all i want to do now is celebrate, eat, drink, laugh, cheer, jump around…

Thank you all for the encouragement and support, we wouldnt have made it so far without your help and constant trickle of donations received through www.marconannini.com/help
