today is bidding goodbye to my friends in the Volvo ocean race.they will head to Qingda,China.it is said to be a very tough journey ahead due to extreme weather and strong headon winds.
i can still remember the time when we 1st met when u guys arrive in the later part of december.for some reason we clicked well and became buddies (hopefully) forever.i'll miss all you guys from Sweden.though the time we spent was short but it was very enriching and i learnt much from you guys.
i'll be cheering all you guys and specially rooting for team Ericsson 4 and3.i'll be cheering for the teams but i'll place my bet on the Ericsson teams.for the other teams that are lacking behind don't worry.in such a sport like yatch racing the is so dependent on the weather and wind conditions, anything can change for good or for worst.
just remember what happen to telefonica black.from the cape of good hope in Africa to India they were the underdogs and always lacking behind.but just one decision change the destiny of the whole team.just the decision at the last part of the race to stick close to the coast.that decision.that risk paid off.
towards the finishing, they overtook many teams as those teams were sailing together as a pack and so when you overtake, you overtake the whole group.this really shocked all the teams as well as the people waiting for them at the finishing line.overtaking puma, delta Lioyd and a few others i think.
now if the info we are getting is not wrong, Puma is leading the race followed by Ericsson 4, Telefonica blue, Ericsson 3, Telefonica black, green dragon.so goodluck guys.hope that in the future we can meet again real soon.hopefully S'pore has been playing good host so they can host the Ocean race again next time.and maybe then we can meet again.
For Now Bon Voyage!!!
