I'm in the middle. The first race is already over, a good preparation for the season is relatively short and in the 2-man team. It's all part of the qualification for the "La Charente-Maritime-Bahia Transat 6:50 2011 ", a solo transatlantic race on the so-called Mini650 sailboats As the name suggests.. Only 6.50 long, but absolutely ready to sail for the qualification are 1000 nautical miles in official Classe Mini races to sail, as well as another 1,000 nautical miles on a specified qualification route between the French coast and the southern tip of Ireland. All of this should serve as a fitness test. The first real is now tomorrow at noon. For the first time I sail alone for several days and I will not know how. sleep deprivation has been said can lead to hallucinations, which is in this race already happened and not the individual case. Good to go without drugs ... Preparations for everything made as safe and enjoyable as possible for several days have lasted. Today I spent half the day getting food rations to pack so I do not lethargy before eventually forget to eat and lose energy. In addition, the boat must be as light as possible, any unnecessary ballast must disembark, it's fashionable light winds. Given the questions: how much fuel is needed, the fuel cell to the autopilot to supply sufficient? What is the best route will be, where strong currents are expected to find more wind? Fortunately, there is among the sailors a good sense of community, everything is discussed openly, held back any information.
The positions of the boats are during the race, also broadcast on a channel and available on the Internet on the blog of the regatta pursued. My boat has number RIKKI Tikki 626th
