Majan Now in Singapore until 27th April19th April 2010

Majan, after having passed the fourth Cape, Cape Piai, yesterday at 14.47 GMT, arrived in Singapore the same evening. Mark Covell, onboard Majan, reported a moment that none of the crew will forget:  “When we were blasting through a narrow channel at 18 knots under full sail, a lone fisherman was crossing the channel well ahead of us in a thin dug out wooden canoe. Within seconds we were barrelling towards the unsuspecting sailor, he had obviously not seen us. To see his face as we shot by in a 105 ft ball of power was unforgettable. He looked up at us calmly, like he was witnessing a UFO landing in his back yard!”. On arrival in Singapore, Mark added: “We will all look back on this leg as a leg of contrasts compared to the open ocean. Walking the course of the Indian Oceans 5 Capes Race has been interesting. Running this leg as a fleet race with as little restriction on the course as possible will be intriguing.” The stopover in Singapore will last until the 27th of April before Leg 5, the final leg of the Indian Ocean 5 Capes Race course, passing the last cape of the race, Cape Comorin on the southern tip of India. Visit the photo gallery below with new pictures of the end of Leg 4.
