Now Davy is tasting the traditional caipirinha and fruit ...
"That's good. For 20 days I drank hot coca. I had forgotten the taste of food. For me, this race is the culmination of a long dream, but these boats are still dangerous. The books said it would happen, but I'm turning the pages and nothing happened as planned. Trade winds? No trade winds. Pot Black? No Pot in Black. On the other hand every night we took in the face of storms. It was very stressful. We had two days after Cape Verde, tranquility. Fair winds, calm sea. The end was, for against, hell. The worst night of the Transat with winds at 25-30 knots. "
Congratulations Davy!
