Seeing land again is always a good feeling for a sailor, and Mohammed saw it first.  Mohsin, onboard Majan, tells: “The thing Mohammed and I notice the most is the amount of rubbish in the water. To be fair it’s not all man made. Clumps of grass and mangroves float about like mini islands, each with their very own eco system. The wind slowly dropped off from a light air beat to nothing. We persevered, working closer to the land feeling there may be some more wind due to compression along the shore. The contrast to the stark open ocean to having so much visual stimulation around us is almost too much to handle. Smoke, boats, people land and shipping are all new to us”. He added “Now we are having to navigate round obstacles, instead of sailing for days on one heading.  So for Mohammed and I it is really good for practicing our navigation, and understanding more about what Marc and Paul are planning.”  No more long and open ocean swells and weather systems for Majan and the crew. This is flat water coastal racing, island hopping with Jawa to starboard and Sumatra to port. Singapore is up ahead them and they have approx. 400 nm to go on this penultimate leg of the course and lots of twists and turns to come, with a mixed forecast of showers, squalls and light breezes.
