Another steady day of progress on Valent. Today’s highlight depends on your perspective. For some it was the banana loaf (definitely getting the hang of cup measures), for others it was getting back into the fish and landing a nice Amberjack, but the cherry on the cake for me was seeing Berenice Cube up close and personal.
Berenice Cube is the leading boat in ARC and about twice the size of Valent. She is a Swan 90 and was sailing at more than double our speed. In full race mode, 7 crew on deck she made a fine sight. A very cordial conversation on the VHF followed.
