Today has been a very normal day on board of the Challenger 1. After some work of Alex’s team preparing for a gybe, Anna’s team carried out the gybe and we started heading south west. The wind continues pushing us towards our destination. We are currently 1400 miles from Saint Lucia, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean preparing to celebrate Michele’s Birthday. After this watch, Hugo is going to try to bake a cake (I hope it tastes better than the meals he usually cooks for the 16 of us). Jokes aside, tomorrow we have another Shower day, which will probably help to improve the crew’s mood.

How do you wake up for a 3am to 7am watch?
Some people on the other watch take in turns and wake me up. After that we have Anna the watchleader that remember us that “it's time to go on deck!”.
What day do you think we are going to arrive?
1322nm left now so around 11 December.
How does it feel to have your birthday at sea?
It means a birthday party in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean! I hope to be in full of energy to enjoy and make everyone remember this special day.
