Lisbonne... Already!
Three days and three nights at sea for the 84 competitors of The Charente-Maritime/Bahia Transat 6.50 2009. Three days and three nights sailing downwind in the breeze, with plenty of technical matters, lack of sleep, "starvation" and the glorious uncertainty for positions. No way to keep eyes open, humid and salty skin in heavy wet oilskin coat, the minis sailors finally found the absolute happiness of more and more franticly sail in stormy swell. For some time put away, because of the passing of the Cape Finisterre, the spinnakers are back, and the quickest to set it free are congratulating themselves tonight by listening to the rankings announced by the honeyed voice of the race director on the long waves of Monaco radio, the only way for the solo sailors to get news about the race.
