RACE 1 - DAY 5 CREW DIARY - LONDON, UK TO RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL


Before the crews knew of the tragic news......

Wow, day six or is it seven? Everything merges together at sea when on watch. Sleep and food become the two of the main drives. Off the coast of Portugal in heavy seas with just the main and Yankee 2 up yet still reaching high speeds, cannot tell you how fast as that's not for the opposition to know.......... I just hope that today brings the excitement of yesterday when our good ship Mission Performance (or Missy) kicked off the top of the waves in heavy seas and decided to take us surfing, all we needed was The Beach Boys greatest hits playing in the background to complete the experience. Huge excitement when we hit our top speed of the day accompanied by dolphins or were they porpoises? At crew meeting known as Happy Hour our daily position is revealed. Where will we be today ?
