Race 5 - Day 11
Crew Diary - Race 5 Day 11
01 January

Today, we sailed into a high-pressure system. The wind speed was around 10 knots all day long. We tried the wind seeker, but it did not improve the speed much. The boat swayed gently in the swells, and the sea surface was smooth and gentle, as if lying on the ground. Be gently hypnotized in the arms of the sea.

I am very happy that we have been in the leading position of the fleet since the start so far. And depending on the weather forecast and the relative positions of the Scoring Gate over the next few days, we'll get good points.

In the lonely Southern Indian Ocean, as far as the eye can see, we and Perseverance are companions. The two boats are about 5 nautical miles apart. We can see each other's sailing status with telescopes, while other boats are far away from us and can only be seen from the tracker.

Sailing in such calm sea conditions, my teammates had more time to chat, but something that surprised me also appeared at this time, that is, the long-awaited dolphins jumped out of the water happily on both sides of the boat. They seemed to bewelcoming guests from afar, it seemed to get our attention and give us an impromptu performance, a deep interaction between two spiritual creatures in the depths of the ocean. The get together was always short, and our yacht continued to sail towards the Scoring Gate.
