And so…as the finished sailors regather and regroup in Rio…and by all accounts there is concurrence that this was a tough edition of the race out on the transcontinental waters…the recharge commences.

It’s an overwhelming sense of triumph. We did it. We crossed the ocean. We survived the dangers. We dealt with the problems. We’ve experienced something few people on the planet can even imagine.

What an amazing day full of finishers! A massive release of a spectrum of emotions from the sailors, families, friends and race supporters as the first five monohulls cross the finish line.

Isn’t it ironic that there was such instant calm after the storm, as boat after boat parked up after their various transitions through Kurumí’s barbed and violently wagging tail?

The storm has not yet passed for all of the fleet. There’s an interesting reality for all the enthusiastic followers of the highly addictive tracker for the race: it’s a one way ticket.
