Fishing Net Stuck in the Keel! 😰 Rough night for our crew onboard Malizia - Seaexplorer who got stuck in a fishing net and in a no wind zone last night...
💬 Skipper Will Harris explained: "We’re getting close to Gibraltar now, Tarifa is just over there, and Africa is right in front of us. The objective is to keep pushing east, get through the Strait, and then see what the plan is from there, depending on what happens with the boats ahead and the weather.
The leaders managed to squeeze through Gibraltar with really nice breeze, so they’re still fast and quite far away. Unfortunately, we’ve lost quite a bit of contact with them. At the same time, Alla Grande made a big comeback from behind with more breeze, so now they’re very close to us.
It’s hard to say what will happen next. There are still a lot of changes possible and the maths of it all is tricky. Until we cross the finish line, we just have to make sure we minimise mistakes, keep the boat moving, and see where we end up in the end."
Let's see how the last 24 hours of Leg 2 will unfold, maybe some luck for our crew who definitely deserves it!
