Telefonica blue winner


Telefonica Blue in action 

Another day at sea. Got my Herbalife in the morning and a proteinbar on the boat. just before the start of the in-port race at kanholmsfjärden outside Stockholm. 07.30 in the morning the V70 boats left Skeppsbron and 1300 the start signal, a gun shot, went of and the boats worked their way at the line, in order to capture the best position, a very important part in this short but points-loaded race. 


The fleet at kanholmsfjärden

I was a bit said that I couldn't be on one of  the boats during the race, I really enjoyed it when I were a crew-member at GreenDragon. But it is ok to sit next to them as well, to watch the whole fleet come up and around the posts in a speed of 17 knots, to watch their huge sails up and to see them in action to tack in competition is amazing. 

Telefonica blue win the second race and by that the overall of the competition. They are now in position to catch the cat but then Ken Reed on Puma need to be unfortunate and the winds have to blow in  Telefonica blues direction. 

At the finish- line 

Team russia are back in the competition for the last leg, and I want to go to St Petersburg.
