COFFEEMAKER IS FIXED!!
now nothing stands between us and the Atlantic. The grinder mechanism was broken and the machine needed some major surgery to replace it. Now we hear a beautiful whirring sound each time we push that button. More comfortable night watches are now only a click away.
Oh, I almost forgot:
We had a big surprise last night when at the prize winning we were given the plaque for 2nd position in group B!!!!
This in spite of the fact that we were penalized 3 hours for purportedly crossing the start line second early. We sort of disagree with that, since we were going by UTC and the race management created their own time by calling the start 5 seconds early.
Oh well, it did not make a difference in the end, so we just celebrated anyway.
NEXT LEG STARTS TOMORROW, WEDNESDAY at 14:00 UTC
