Guillermo Altadill sends the first report about Estrella Damm’s progress via email, the day after departure from Barcelona:

“After the first night onboard all seems to be good, light and shifty winds make us work hard, Jonathan and myself, during the night. We can see PRB, Hugo Boss and Virbac in only a couple of miles separation.

We leave Ibiza on starboard. That was not included in our plans but, as well, the weather prediction was not according to the plans. So we are where we are and that seems the right place for now.

For the next hours we expect to have more work in the nav station then on deck, anyway. We are hand steering since the start in Barcelona to get the 100% of our boat.

I found scissors in the sail repair kit and I go to cut my hair to be more confortable in the next few months.”
