Just like leaving Oman and Ras Al Hadd, the first Cape crossed by Majan, on the first night of the Indian Ocean 5 Capes Race, the crew has had another bumpy night. “Just as we crossed the line the warm wind seemed to turn cold and the first few spits of rain started to fall. The wind got up, under rain clouds, to a gusty 26 knots at times. Majan’s motion was to sling shot over the short sharp waves slamming hard after every one of them. I normally have a strong stomach but both Mohammed and I were very seasick,” said Mohsin Al Busaidi onboard Majan. The A100 Majan left Cape Town yesterday at 12:00 local time; they are now more than 280 miles into Leg 3 destination Fremantle. Over the next day or two Paul Standbridge and his crew are planning to sail south as fast as they can. “Paul described it as driving on small back roads, often away from your destination, just to get to the motorway junction, “ added Mohsin.
