Easy Rider - EASY RIDER...Captain's Log...Day 12



WE'VE ARRIVED IN HORTA!!!!!! We crossed the finishing line at 03.40 in FIRST PLACE, some 3 hours in front of the second placed boat.
The last day at sea we had 20 kts of wind at a perfect wind angle & Easy just galloped along. When we received the fleet positions first thing in the morning, we discovered we were neck & neck with another yacht called Windwalker...we pushed Easy to the max, with constant trimming of the sails to gain maximum speed......our hard work payed off & Soy, I & the crew are absolutely delighted. I think it will take a little time for it to sink in. Crossing the atlantic is a great achievement, but to come in first.....just fantastic!!!!!!
 
We will spend about 6 days here in Horta before setting off to visit three other islands in the Azores. This morning everyone is suffering from severe hangovers after partying last night till dawn......several other boats arrived during the night & just joined in....our corner of the marina is very quiet today!!!

soy's note: once Martin gets that microphone in his hand...well he just thinks he's on stage! Centre stage!
