Thank you, Zhuhai, for being such an amazing Host Port. The welcome and Prizegiving are ones that will stick in our memories for the year to come.
Now we are back to racing, and this time we are properly bashing our way upwind out of the South China Sea. It's a very unforgiving start for our new joiners as overnight the wind built up to 30kts and the sea went from calm to a messy rough with the boat slamming down of the back of some of the steeper waves.
Several crew, new and old, are suffering from sea sickness and it looks like this is set to continue for the next couple of days. For now, those that can are enjoying the last bit of heat before we head north into colder waters.
