Race 7 - Day 1
Skipper Report
24 February

Hola from Punta del Este!

We are back on the game! After having a good rest and some fun at the Subic Bay stopover we are back in racing mode. At Subic Bay me and the Punta del Este crew went horse riding together and swam at a waterfall. The horses were beautiful and the ride was mellow, a little change from some of the intense moments we face as ocean sailors. I also went to play golf at Subic Bay golf international with skippers and AQP's from other teams. When we are in the water racing we compete hard and when we are on land we compete hard too… Along with Ha Long Bay, Viet Nam that hosted a great challenging quiz night where we came second, we hosted a Latin party to fundraise for Unicef.

Race 7-8 has started with a bang with really challenging light wind conditions where every boat was overtaking each other. The idea was to find pockets of wind and gain those extra miles where the rest would be moving very slowly. Progress has been better than expected and with strong winds at the Luzon strait. This race is promising and so for its not disappointing.
