TELEFONICA BLACK EMAIL: 'preparing for war'

Telefonica Black, Mikel Pasabant (Media Crew)

Hi everybody

We have been preparing for war since early morning. Everything has been organized and fixed up for the coming hours in which we expect to have some more than 40 knots, according to the weather forecast.

The good news is that we will at last catch up with winds which will take us closer to the finishing line, and be able to fight for the leading place. We are at a certain distance behind, with a drop of wind and big shifts, but still there.

Another good news is that we have cleared up a lot of stuff in here, so there is more room available for anything.

Life on board goes as usual , except for some funny reparations our "Master of the Laminates: Laminator David", has done. You may ask him by mail what happened. I can not write about that here!! Ha ha!!

And in between laminates and laminates, sail changes and one of the worst things on board: stacking. Imagine moving and piling up hundreds of kilos in this reduced space every time the wind drops or increases in one or two knots! No problem, "stacking again!" is the shout and everyone goes to it.

Oh, I almost forgot! We have only two spoons left! So imagine next step. Making spoons out of plastic! Or laminated carbon!! Laminator again!

Let's see what happens.
Tomorrow more.
