SailingPR - Sailing & Regatas

Hi all
As we get close to the finish line, there is a curious mix of relaxation and tension onboard. Relative relaxation, as we still have 250 miles to go and anything might happen. The curiosity is that mix: tension to be on shore and with the family, but also to get everything fixed for the next leg, and relaxed as we know we have done everything we could in this one. We were not very lucky sometimes and that’s all. Think ahead and we will see.

We are trapped in a high pressure now, which has slowed us down a bit, but we think we will limp across the finish line sometime between tomorrow and the next day. This is not bad at all with all the problems we have suffered.
We will see what happens today.

Looking forward to seeing you all.
Kisses
Mikel Pasabant - MCM
