Three days after Majan left Fremantle, her crew are now sailing at 27 knots to their next destination – Singapore – on this penultimate leg of the Indian Ocean 5 Capes Race. More than 1,000 miles after the start at Cape Leeuwin, Mohammed al Ghailani confides: “I always find the first 48 hours at sea very hard. As soon as my body and sleep clock has become accustomed to the timing, I am happy again. I personally take about two days to get my sea legs. We had an upwind start again and, yes, I was very ill. Please can we have at least one slow start to a leg? These first nights that launch us right into the thick of it are becoming too common. It will get lighter and lighter and hotter and hotter as we sail up to Singapore. I also like that every mile we sail we are getting closer to Oman and home. It’s still a long way to go and I’m not wishing it away but I am missing home, friends and family. I have never been away this long before. Paul and Mohsin have taught me never to count the days. I love my time on Majan but think I’m only human to sometimes want to be with my family.”  Majan is almost at the halfway point en route to Singapore with approx 1260 miles to go.
