The Bible says that God “rested on the seventh day.” Well, the fact is here there is no rest on the Lord’s day.
The day has been very stable for us and we have been able to maintain the speed of the boat and our course in the routing.
Dongfeng is sailing so fast that they have been taking around half mile on each watch (ie. every 4 hours).
All of this is a bit desperate and a bit frustrating since we do not know why and how they always have that extra speed. Is it the mast? Do they have a new mainsail? Here are some questions that the crew is asking.
It was pretty funny to see how, gradually, Brunel approached from the horizon. During the night they overtook our boat. Something similar happened with the girls, who maintained their course overnight and then crossed our stern.
We have perfect weather conditions with almost 14 knots and fairly dry winds that make life onboard pretty enjoyable; in fact we can have all the windows open (because at midday heat is very strong).
Have a nice Sunday!!
