Hi all,
We can´t believe we have finally gibed towards North, towards Melbourne!
Every nm we do now is towards warmer waters and warmer weather. We can´t wait to be honest. The last two nights have been the coldest of the trip for sure and added to being so tired starts being a hard job, anyway as I said we are heading North so is all good.
Wind is over 30 knots most of the times and we have a squall after squall but we are managing to keep the boat safe and fast. Last night we had a few moments… big squalls over 40 knots butt all went well.
The last position reports have been very good for us and we have a good lead even if Dongfeng has gone stealth on this last one, Juan analyses their options anyway and we have a guess where they can be. We have to wait now for 2 more reports to find out more that’s way we keep going as fast as we can.
All good on board, people healthy and fit, we can´t wait to get to Melbourne.
Best regards from MAPFRE
Xabi
