Telefonica Black Leg 4 Day 4

It has been a busy day, but the good news is our FIRST POSITION in the
race!

As you all can see through the videos, there has been a lot of discussion on the tactics recently, as it has to be, and it has proved worthwhile, as we are currently holding the first position in the fleet.

Anyway, we all know this is a very tricky leg and anything may happen.  Wee are sailing through what could be called a mine field, not only due to the continuous reefs you face, but for the tricky winds and squalls, which may put you in front of the fleet or at the back in one position report's time.

And not to forget the stray logs all around these waters: we had a collision against one of those with our starboard new rudder, and thank God nothing happened to the appendage nor to the Demonio.

So we keep on working hard, let's hope for some good luck, as we will soon face a notorious wind change in speed, and water and air temperature.
