Horatio N. Carabelli: It has been hard work in our little ship for the last days. It is one of the few times we have been in sight of other boats for such a long time in this race. The fight with Pirates has motivated the whole crew and although Pirate Cayard and his Black Pearl and bunch of dead men’s chests are a tough herd to beat we have been recovering precious miles, we can see him a couple of miles to windward. Before Noronha it was against Ericsson and playing with the clouds has been a nice game. We are nearly all newcomers to this game, specially me but the knowledge of Marcel van Triest has been really a helping hand at the wheel, sometimes we decide to try another way but we realize that really the devil knows. We are in a fast reaching to the Black Pearl waters but the finish is not in Isla de Muerta so we expect not such an advantage on the local boys. We are all confident to our skipper Torben is ready for the final fight. In the last battle our brave skipper asked the 1st officer for the red Jacket, I hope he doesn’t ask for the brown trousers inside Chespeake. Brasil 1 approaching Caribbean Waters .
