One of the greatest parts about the last race was the number of people we reached and connected with through the blog and the race, from new friends to old friends to total strangers. So if you know of anyone who might be interested in what we're doing, please share, and invite, and include...

Quick update

 
The Robinson family and everyone at Team Ciao Bella would like to express their condolences to the crew and family of Bille. This does come a quite a shock and detail surrounding this is limited. More information will follow as soon as we receive anything.
 
On a positive note, the weather is much calmer and swells are down. The days ahead look to be much better and with a morning breeze passing us by.
 
Thank you to everyone following. We are working through the connectivity issues and will be on touch soon.

    If they have an HF SSB radio and a laptop on board, they could have used the free RMS Express software for HF radio email to 5 new land stations around them. Very trustworthy setup.

    Q 3: If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?
    Q 4: Is there ever a day that mattresses are NOT on sale?
    regards Reyn and Elzabe.

    I am not enjoying the silence! But I do see you are sailing so well and are right up there. Dying to get some news from you - hope the water is lasting out! May fair winds be at your back. Viv Rossaak
