Off for the 3rd leg.

The 8 boats left Cochin, India heading to Singapore, running the shortest leg of the whole race. Ericsson 4, commanded by fellow Brazilian Torben Grael is leading again closely followed by Telefonica Blue. This talented men keep pushing those boats every time harder and harder and some of them are already showing signs of wear and tear. Delta Lloyd has been slowed down due to failures on one of the rams of her canting keel mechanism. As I am writing this post Torben is 709 miles from the finishe line and the last boat is only 147 miles behind. Not much for the ocean and travelling at 20 knots average.
Salude Torben...time for some Caipirinha.
