After five years of waiting, after a pandemic and two race postponements, after falling down a hatch and breaking two knee ligaments, after having to cancel my participation in legs two and three and after being offered the possibility of doing leg eight, the moment of truth has arrived and I am about to start my great adventure.
Our time in Washington has been really nice, I have been able to visit all the main sights and to do some additional activities like biking around town or kayaking on the Potomac. We also did some really wonderful team activities like our party or our crew dinner.
But it feels that the time is passing really slowly, we are all ready to start sailing and what we want is that time passed fast and we finally departed. We did our refresher training and our crew brief. All the victualling activities are done and the boat is ready. So it is great that tomorrow we will be slipping our lines and start motoring towards the start line.
I am super excited, I will keep you posted!!
