A lot has happened over the past week, with the fleet now at sea for 10 days having left Lisbon on 5 November, passing the Doldrums and crossing the Equator in an incredibly tight pack. This may be the fastest leg 2 on records, as the fleet has kept moving fast across the Doldrums, traditionally known to be very slow and unpredictable. In this week's race summary we look at:
- How the fleet tackled the clouds with good and bad outcomes
- Finally the first rain and freshwater
- Going through unusually fast Doldrums
- Pollywogs meeting King Neptune as the fleet crosses the Equator Please click HERE to download the transcript | | |
