You may have noticed that Sanya and Punta del Este have returned to port. There has been an incident during the race round the cans in the outer harbour and repairs are required to both boats. This is estimated to take 10-14 days. During this time Rachel is free to travel but must return once repairs are completed. What matters is that everybody is safe.
At the end of the 10-14 days, the two boats will continue the race and times will be compared to the other boats. Sir Robin insists that boats do not sail on their own in the Southern Ocean, so both boats must leave at the same time. Points will be awarded accordingly.
Rachel is understandably upset and unsure of arrangements for accommodation etc. Please be thinking of her.
