The Giraglia rock is getting closer and closer and the sun is setting.

PASSAGE AT THE GIRAGLIA ROCK - JUNE 18TH, 2015

Good job! 11th position in the ranking at the Giraglia rock passage.

Now upwind to Genoa (Italy) and another overnight sailing.

Daria and Marco happy for the good job.

ON THE WAY TO GENOA

Very light wind or no wind at all and no waves. It’s hard to make miles to get to Genoa.

Marco using the boat hook to trim the Spinnaker. Extreme solutions for extreme conditions.

EVERY SAIL TRIM MATTERS

Light wind all the day long. Jeronimo doing his best at trimming the Spinnaker.
Genoa (Italy) is in sight.
