Both Nandor and Conrad told us it’s been a very intensive three days in Bluff, working hard the whole day every day, with no time to rest – except for a few nice pizzas. They are both really tired but also very happy with the boat and with the reparation, looking forward to sail out and take on the second half of the Barcelona World Race circumnavigation.
