If like me, the disease of sailing has infected every orifice, you had a terrible night’s sleep last night. Glued to the excellent RORC tracker, I sailed every last mile of the RORC Transatlantic Race, cheering on the Brad Butterworth navigated ‘Lucky’ - the old Rambler 88 off the prolific drawing board of Juan Kouyoumdjian - as it desperately sat ahead of record time on the final knockings into the Camper & Nicholson Port Louis Marina on the Caribbean Isle of Grenada. Nice place to be in January.
