“Without doubt, this is definitively to live the life on EXTREME form. The food is wet, to sleep is impossible, we are soaked almost always. Any task, to get dressed or even to go bathroom requires a capital effort. The openings are leaking. We are bottled in a battle to avoid that the electronics gets wet to us. The whole boat shakes to each passage of wave. The shock with each pantocazo is brutal. All the winches and brakes in the piano do “crack” as if they were cannon shots, under the enormous tension that they support. The water enters in torrents the bathtub and towards the cabin, so that we must remove it each half an hour to avoid to have a swimming pool in the leeward side. In cover it is like being in front of a hose of firemen with the spurt to top. You take hold yourself like one lapa for mantenerte within the bathtub. In spite of all the difficulty and annoyance, this it is the best site of the world in which now I want to be. I feel happy tearing the South Atlantic at speeds that exceed the 30 knots! It is a sensation difficult to describe, a adrenalin mixture, enthusiasm and excitation, fear and apprehension.”
