Motoring is boring

There's no way around it: motoring is boring and we have been motoring since yesterday night, so we are a little bit bored. I can't imagine what it must have been for the guys in leg 7 who motored for 9 days on their way to Panama! We have not even hoisted the main or any other sail, so we just pass the time getting to know each other, and getting used to our watches and the tasks that we need to perform every day.

We are all looking forward to tomorrow, when the race will start and we will all be in our way to Oban and our loved ones.

Highlights of the day include being able to helm the yacht, even if it's under power, and seeing a flock of pelicans. These birds are outstanding and graceful, love them!
