Race 1 - Day 5
Skipper Report
07 September

Good morning from Punta del Este,

Last night we sailed past the coast of my homeland (Galicia). It is a beautiful green land with a rouged coast and amazing beaches. It holds the biggest fishing fleet in Europe, therefore it has a large population of seafarers including me and my family. What a great feeling racing around Finisterre, it is blowing 40 knots of wind with considerable swell, which is the norm here at this time of year.

We saw another whale, but this time only 50m away, swimming toward us - amazing, amazing, amazing! It has been an intense night sailing through the Ocean Sprint corridor, giving it all and doing 26.1 knots of boat speed.

Me, Ryan (AQP) and the crew continue sailing hard.

We are all loving it.
