Team Malizia brings you “End of Watch”
Episode Two - It's Not Sunshine Everyday - stars Boris Herrmann and Rosalin Kuiper from a bouncy day 12 on Leg 3 of the Southern Ocean during The Ocean Race 2023.
Listen along to this light hearted episode, as Boris Herrmann and Rosalin Kuiper overlap on their watch on day 12 of The Ocean Race. The pair discuss the differences of each day at sea. The bouncy day at sea and having to slow down a little to protect the boat. The duo discuss the smells they experience on the boat. For Boris he thinks that it doesn't smell so much at sea but for Rosie she experiences all smells on the ocean.
They discuss showering at sea, how you stop yourself smelling.
They discuss the expectations of the race and the deeper meaning of why they do the race. The fact that with their mast repair they have won their own race already. We should not forget that if we arrive we should be so proud. With the mast repair we became so close as a team.
Boris talks about the emotions that hit him when he thought that they might not be able to continue in leg 3 of the Ocean Race. They discuss toilet breaks on board and hygiene routines. They also talk about the fact that every day is the same and that you lose a sense of time zones as you zoom through time zones almost every day but you stay with UTC time in order to keep this schedule. You start to become out of kilter with time. They finish by discussing their favourite offshore meals.
