Delayed podcast from day 4 of leg 5
The internet had delayed this amazing update from the team - so this is actually day 4 of the race of leg 5
Episode Nineteen - Anything Can Happen - stars Rosalin Kuiper and Boris Herrmann from Leg 5 during The Ocean Race 2023.
Listen along as Rosalin Kuiper and talk about everything from the last 4 days. Hear how hard the team found it in the first days. Trying to struggle with the cold, the waves, the dark and why they found it so hard.
They are now back in good spirits and ready to push hard.
They still don’t know they made the record and they are edging into calmer weather but still with good wind. They talk about the arrival into Aarhus and the excitement of approaching land and what they are looking forward to.
They look at the weather systems they have been experiencing and why the routing and weather tactics have carried them to where they are. They talk about the sprint over the top of Scotland and how quickly the end is already approaching.
They have been almost 90 days at sea since January and they analyse the transition from land to sea and what they struggled with. Newport was such a team and cosy feeling and that it was then much harder to leave. Both felt that the stop wasn’t long enough and so they found it hard to get back to the ocean.
