Well somehow we got some cable in the propeller and since tomorrow there will be supposedly a regatta it was necessary to remove it still this afternoon.
Eight degrees and 15 knots of wind were not nice conditions, but it is also no problem:

Usually we do not realize anymore so much what is usually for us and we forget to see the paradise just at the wayside:

Regatta Rio Ave

After a really long time of very nice weather we catched in the regattas in October and November only bad conditions.
But the few wind was just enough to have an advantage compared to Mike Davis. So for the first time we were able to crossed a finish line before Mike Davis.

Regatta Costa Verde 2009

Compared to last year there was a lack of participation. Mostly due to bad weather conditions only three yachts start the race. Second day all of us had to give up: the time limit of 8 hours was not possible to achieve, even so we catched some wind outside. While beening in a fog bank we saw quite a lot of dolphins (unfortunatelly the did not push us).
