Coastal cruising06th May 2010

The A100 Trimaran Majan is coming back home at full speed off the Indian coast. The boat passed Cape Comorin yesterday, 5th and final landmark of the Indian Ocean 5 Capes Race at the southern tip of India : “Like a steam train crossing the Indian continent, we powered up the coast of Kerala, eventually coming close to land just off the town of Kolachel. The Indian Ocean 5 Capes Race course just keeps coming up with pleasant surprises, and the team on board keep saying it’s so different on each ocean leg. Very soon we could hardly see the land and you had to pinch yourself and think, “did we really see all that?”  But we definitely smelt the curry and saw some landmarks, and then we vanished into the night, to get on with our watches and race, and wonder what the people on shore are doing?” reported Mohammed al Ghailani onboard Majan. The Arabian Peninsula is now less than 1230 nautical miles away.
