The hurricane ‘Gelane’, downgraded to a Tropical Storm, finally agrees to let Majan and her crew move, but not without difficulty. Under a heavy rain, Majan is sailing towards strong winds and menacing waves. The crew remains cautious: “There are other cells forming and we need to keep our wits about us. The sea state in the area will be very aggressive and Gelane is still puffing and panting like a teenager on a ‘bad hair’ day” said Mark Covell. It’s still a long way for the A100 Trimaran, with about 2,700 miles still to go in though conditions to reach their next goal, Cape Town (via the second cape of the race: Cape Agulhas).
