Sailing Noises - Sam Davies
Posted January 5th, 2009 by Sam Davies
Hello everyone! I hope it's not too hard getting back to work after the Christmas holidays! Today is a quiet day on board Roxy as we are flirting with another ridge of high pressure that is located around the next ice gate. Our new occupation seems to be to find all the parts of the Pacific with light wind - there is another one right here!

Posted December 28th, 2008 by Sam DaviesHello everyone! I've just been out on deck, having taken a reef. Roxy is reaching in 20-25 knots of wind and there's a nice sea. After finishing the reef, I sat up on top of my Fleet 77 dome, and marvelled at my surroundings. |
Sam Davies Blog and Video - Roxy Ready for Christmas
Posted December 23rd, 2008 by Sam DaviesDay 43 is finished, and that means that Roxy is halfway through her record time of 87 days!!! I think we are pretty much halfway distance-wise too.... so it might be still be possible to break Roxy's record time from the last race! |
