Race 1 - Day 3
Crew Diary - London, UK to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
03 September

The Tigers and Dragons woke up to a beautiful sunny morning with a very light wind before it increased to 19 knots in the afternoon. While the crew on deck were trimming the sails to the improving wind condition, the mothers, Vicky and Vitaly, were busying baking cakes and bread to keep the crew well fed.

We had some playmates; dolphins, jumping out of the sea to dance with the giant red and yellow "dragon"! Seeing wild dolphins chasing the boat was an amazing way for some of us to see them for the first time.

We had a clear sky in the evening with THOUSANDS of stars and milky way before a busy night of several sail changes, helming with the spinnaker up and trimming to the biggest wind we had so far. Exciting, at times scary, and once or twice a little bit more than scary. It was a good taste of what's to come.

Back in chasing position for that number 1 spot. Crew 'n' skipper are smiling, bouncing , focused and energised!

Even enjoying cleaning the heads - must be the cakes!
