I must admit that the sound quality would have been better had they
been calling from a village in Papua New Guinea in 1952. Nevertheless
I did get to hear that they are all doing great! It's been a rough
start with very strong winds. They are currently averaging 13-14 knots
(which is quite fast) and therefore the boat is very heeled (osease
bien inclinado). I understand that the crew that works the bow (la
proa o lo de adelante) is getting very wet (and the water is not
warm). It is the beginning of their second night and they are a bit
tired from so much work but they are all very happy and looking
forward to taking out the spinnaker hopefully soon! Just so you know
when they take the spinnaker out, the boat will no longer be heeled
and therefore, everyone will be a bit more free to relax and enjoy!
Keep sending out the good vibes to our brave sailors crossing the
Pacific ocean!
Here's a description of another one of the crew members sent by his
girlfriend (thanks Andrea). Keep sending me more...
Jorge Garcia Moreno is a special guy. He enjoys each moment in life
and is committed to everything that he gets involved in. Sharing is
his essence, and through it, he transmits joy, trust, and an
unconditional presence to his loved ones, which forces us to love him
back. His passion is contagious and his positive energy makes you see
things in a positive light no matter how bad they may really be. This
energy is enriched when Jorge is out at sea, because it is there that
he finds peace, tranquility, and a space for reflection. On the
sailboat Jorge will be giving the best of himself; courage, teamwork,
and a restless attitude for adrenaline and adventure. The crew will
find in Jorge much more than just a sail buddy; they will discover a
friend, a source of support and advice, and a colleague who will have
the team's best interest at heart, making sure that everyone in the
boat shares an unforgettable and gratifying experience.
