Those Fabulous Poles - At the quai des Belges
Congratulations to Roman Paszke, Dariusz Drapella, Wojtek Dlugozima, Robert Janecki, Zbigniew Gutkowski, Mariusz Pirjanowicz, Jaroslaw Kaczorowski,
Here in Marseille, the public and lots of friends, family and journalists were waiting for the crew to arrive in Marseille. Sponsors, families, friends or supporters who have made the journey specially from Poland, together with Poles living in Marseille, all of whom were proud to fly the white and red Polish flag. And so the story draws to a close. Throughout the race, in spite of a modest budget and a technical environment which was not much of a match for some of the others, the crew have always shown their unfailing good nature and experiencing the simple pleasure of sailing. Even at the toughest times, when faced with arduous conditions, just after Cape Horn for example, or when the hull was damaged - the sort of incident which might very well have forced them to abandon ship, not only did the crew act as the truly experienced professionals they are, in full control of the situation, they also demonstrated the sort of fine philosophy which commands admiration and respect.
Team Legato projected finish:
Team Legato - 'the Survivors' - in the Straits of Gibraltar
The last days of the race could turn out to be long ones for Team Legato as it looks as though they are going to have nothing but light air ahead now that they have made it through the Strait of Gibraltar.
Bullimore: "We are still banging our heads to windward just as we have been all the way since the Falkland Islands. We can only hope for a change for the better once we are inside the Mediterranean."
Weather for Team Legato:
Monday night: wind from the north-east force 4 to 5, then north-east weakening to force 4 tonight to Gibraltar. Waves from the north 1.5 to 2 meters.
Tuesday: wind from the east, force 4 weakening and becoming variable force 3 by midday. Waves insignificant.
