Unai happens to the third position

29 of January of 2007. Unai Basurko was east noon to starboard of the island of Oakland, sailing to 8 knots of speed, in direction NW.
Due to the shutdown obligatory of Graham Dalton and the impossibility of Robin to catch to the Pakea, Unai hardly positioned third party hours ago.
 
The strategy that has followed Unai in these last days has given result: The decision to sail but to the north that grosso of the fleet provoked certain distrusts between some, which recognize today, that due to the adverse conditions that appeared to him to portugalujo, was the best decision:
And it is that there is to consider that does a little more 48 hours portugalujo underwent a torrential rain and winds very racheados of up to 40 knots. With these conditions, Unai, is seen in the attitude have in the morning to do trasluchada to 4 without hardly visibility. The night was exhausting: the wind appeared very racheado and with continuous rolls. This caused that Unai had to be continuously kind without being able to conciliate the dream and being able to rest the elbow the sufficient thing.
 
The past Sunday 21 of Unai January had to be taken care of by telephone by its doctor due to an ailment in its left elbow. This pain is caused by a suffered injury, time back, after a fall. Doctor Salciturri, after practicing an examination to him radio-doctor, recommended cold on the extremity, tranquilizers to him and anti inflammatory. The chemical ice bags finished quickly, but the rest of medecines continues bringing about the lightening of the navigator, although it had to do without the tranquilizers, since they brought about dream to him. This old injury continues giving war. “With much facility, in a boat and those conditions, you are receiving a continuous punishment with small taps and that causes that the ailment in the elbow is almost chronic” Unai tries, for one week, to use but the right arm that the left one in its maneuvers to give rest to this damaged elbow.
 

They are spending the hours, the wind is lessening, but rain escampa and with first rays of light does not decide to trasluchar. This makes him maintain a comfortable and positive course but for the boat that will make increase the speed him. “It has been a success to trasluchar to the dawn. The wind has lessened and although it has not stopped raining I have had very good morning for navigation. The wind, during the previous days, has accompanied to me and whereas yesterday it was as a gift has today not stopped to rain and to blow very strong winds. In addition the temperatures have lowered much and the cold feels of continuous “
 
The meteorological forecasts for the next days are hard “This behind schedule already saw the very black horizon, little arranged to the change: “I have put tormentín in prow for the storm, since with those winds I try to be gaining latitude”… “I like to know that Robin follows behind and now that Dalton retakes the day's work, this group is going to really have a fight”. ” Now but the important thing for the one of Portugalete is to rest the possible maximum, since the conditions that appear to him in the next hours are not very flattering, and knows that it is going to rest little.
 
Unai received an unexpected visit yesterday: by the starboard side it sighted seven pilot whales. Today however, they were the seals those that watched overwhelmed the passage of the sailboats.
