..aNNULLATA (lA tAPPA..)..

..il Direttore della Figarò du Solitaire rimanda tutti in porto, a A Coruna, che la Costa della Morte non era proprio cosa..

When we started from Sanxenxo to Concarneau, we all knew that the weather forecast was quite tough, but that’s not abnormal for a Figaro circuit and professional sailors. We were expecting 25-35 knots, gusting 40. Then we received a new weather forecast predicting 45 knots gusting at Cape Ortegal which is quite a famous place and difficult to sail. On top of that, we had a major failure on one of the boats, and the same failure at Cape Ortegal would bring some major issues, so I’d prefer to put safety first. This means that we’re suspending the race in light of the weather."

..Cabo Ortegal l'ho visto dall'alto della falesia, d'agosto, con 1kt e mare forza bracciano-alle-11-del-mattino.. e anche solo così era piuttosto inquietante..

..a questi invece, nel Golfo di Biscaglia, li aspettava questo..

..che più di bolina non poteva essere..

..qui il resto del pezzo.

..mentre quelli della VOR invece ci stanno passando in mezzo..

..tipo..
