During our Atlantic crossing we were far from any other boats most of the time but in this race we have been all quite close together most of the time. And I enjoy when we can sail with other boats within sight. It allows you to see how well you are doing by comparing your advance against other boats. And at night it is specially nice as you can see all the lights of the yachts surrounding you.
Yesterday we ended up very close to Zhuhai, less than 50 metres and I used the opportunity to take some really nice pictures. We were going faster than them and we first tried to overtake them on the windwards side but they maneuvered upwind and closed our way, we then went down in the wind and passed them on the leeward side, quickly leaving them behind. Hope that we can repeat that with some other boats!!
