Majan passed Cape Piai at 14:47 GMT!18th April 2010
Majan and her crew, after a hard windless day, finally crossed Cape Piai, the southern most point of the Malaysian peninsular at 14:47 GMT today, 18th of April. Singapore is directly opposite Cape Piai - they are currently heading into dock. Like the cold of the Southern Ocean, or the high winds of a cyclone, the crew, as sailors, have to deal with all conditions :“Flat calm, a millpond, a desert oasis of tranquillity, bereft of wind, spent, the wind is resting; the means of propulsion has ceased to be. All statements to the effect that this boat is going forward are now inoperative, this wind is an ex-wind, it has snuffed it…..! We just need to find a way not to go a little mad in this heat. ” reported Mark Covell onboard Majan. Majan will leave singapore the 27th of April for her final Leg of the Indian Ocean 5 Capes Race.
