Hi, or maybe I should say hola!
ACCIONA 100% EcoPowered and I had a nice drag race. I went for a quick nap and when I woke up, the autopilot had switched off. Not good… According to my computer, that cost me four miles. Ouch!
Everything's back to normal. As I was preparing my delicious Mx3 paella, I heard the VHF crackle and I ended up chatting with the Captain of the British Progress tanker sailig behind me. He's been away from home for three months as well, and he likes sailing.
So I'm now behind ACCIONA even though at one point, I could see her. Of course I dont like that. Yet I have to admit that sleeping for an hour made me feel better.
Sailing off Staten Island wasn't easy but at least I managed to dry some of my clothes and enjoy a tiny jar of Nutella (Thanks, Santa!). Everthing's really fine on board, the tiredness and the excitement of rounding Cape Horn are gone so it's all about going fast now. The key word is: Velocidad!
