Telefónica Black Leg One Day 2 QFB
"Boats are all right, it’s the men on ‘em…", as Conrad wrote once.
And he was bloody right, it is the men who man them are responsible for the achievements and failures on board, the boats are nearly the perfect racing machines and we are sailing one of those!
Spirits are high as we approach the Strait, the last gate for those so well-known waters, till we face the Canary Islands and the trade winds, and life goes with the normal tension of a regatta, but we all know it is a long way still to go. We are starting to feel the difference between the Med warm waters and those of the Atlantic, and most of it at night!
