Location: English Harbour, Antigua
To start off the day, we had a phenomenal chocolate chip oat bake by Heather. Once we had finished our break, we all packed our lunches for the day. After the lunch arrived at the fridge, we made our way back on deck to wake Ocean Star up. We topped booms and lifted anchors, leaving Nelson’s Dockyard. Some of Vela’s staff and one of their crew, Emma, also helped us out for this race. We started out just outside the yard, setting up sails and getting warmed up before the race started, with the most wind we had so far. After the race started and we had finally reached the first marker, we turned and headed for the second one. I went downstairs at this time as I had some knee problems and the following is brought to you by Rocco.
Yo. It was a great day out on the water. With the help of Vela, we managed to stay close behind our rivals Chronos and Rhea, like the Dia. Because of our handicap (Oceanstar may be beautiful, but she is not meant for racing, so we get some time deducted from our finish time), we actually managed to win again today. That’s two days in a row, folks. To think we all learned how to do this sailing stuff so recently. I can also guarantee that our win was due to the amazing work on the Staysail and Jib by Kackie, Will, Jake, and myselfdefinitely not the fore squad. They ain’tt doing anything. We are all so happy because this is the first time in a long time that O Star has won Classics for the Tall Ships. We are gonna receive our trophy tomorrow at the award ceremony. This experience was so amazing. After the finish line was crossed, we threw our anchor down and said goodbye to Vela folks.
