TELEFÓNICA BLACK LEG ONE DAY 21: received 31.10.08 0826 GMT
Hi everybody
As you can see, we are back in business! Our emergency rudder works well so we could spend the night nearly racing, at a nice speed considering the circumstances.
Anyway, we are in high spirits, we all know that this is a very long run and we have just started! We were in the leading pack a few days ago.
We have had a couple of albatrosses flying around the boat for several hours now, and it is said they are considered a good omen, so let’s hope so! What is true is the magnificence of these birds flying! Amazing!
Apart from birds, we keep on having squids jumping on board, and a very strange fish which appeared yesterday afternoon on deck. We put it back into the water again, as it was still alive, and I took a shot of it in case someone could have a look at it to recognise it. Maybe a normal flying fish, I do not know, but it was cool.
Looking forward to arriving into Cape Town as soon as possible so that we can be ready for the next leg in the best of conditions.
Regards and tomorrow more.
