Race 2 - Day 2
Skipper Report
17 September

Hello Everyone,

Another fantastic day at sea on board Visit Sanya,China there is some close racing going to here between us Ha Long Bay, Viet Nam, Dare To Lead and Punta Del Este which is keeping the crew on their toes and focussed. We had a visitor today in the form of a little bird which was lovely to see, sadly it is most likely a land bird that has gotten lost but Chris still managed to nurture it in his hand for some time.

I have to move onto to talk about food since it pretty much makes my world go round as well as most of the crews’. In London, Vad bought a whole cured ham leg and everyday at about 1600 UTC it is ‘Hamon Time’ this normally consists of Jorge and the ham leg taking pride of place in the galley and every sliver being eagerly gobbled up by the waiting crew members, our on board reporter even made a video about ‘Hamon Time’ on the first race of this leg.

The next food related conversation is what a fantastic job our Victualler, Su, has done, today for dinner Mary and Fred rustled up an amazing cottage pie, even the tinned mince tasted pretty good!

Log extract for the day: ‘Su is on the helm and Vad is excited’

Until tomorrow,

Seumas
