Leg 7 - Qingdao to Hawaii
[As you know] Gutted to be missing Legs 7 & 8 but I kept an eye on how how the race was progressing and summarise:
Hull & Humber came first, New York came second, and Glasgow came third. Well done to Danny, Duggie, Hannah and respective crews for those results.
Liverpool'08 came in 7th, so well doen to all on board, I'm sure there are some stories to tell there. Hopefully hear them in April. That puts us in 5th place overall and lots still to play for.
Also, 2 yachts, Western Australia and Durban have been dismasted! Fortunately no-one has been injured and all the yachts are now (30th March) in Hawaii.
However, the start of the next leg has been delayed due to the problem of getting replacement parts to Hawaii. Haven't had a reply back from Clipper as to the actual joining date as yet but realistically it's going to be another week at least. Ah well, what to do now...![]()
