A big thank you to all the staff for helping us with our various boat works and projects. Now, as we now pick our way northwards up the course, we enter the Malacca Straits. After passing Sri Lanka, we will carve around the bottom of Cape Comorin, the southern most tip of India, the final cape on this 5 Capes Race course, which will be the last sight of land before seeing Oman. We will then race as fast as we can to the finish line off Cape Ras Al Hadd to enter the Gulf of Oman and home to Muscat. By then we will have raced over 16,000 sailing miles,” wrote Mark Covell this morning before the off.
