Clyde Challenger - Arc+ Report - Past the half way point.
Well, the yacht and her crew have officially past the half way point in the last few days and should complete their Atlantic adventure by the end of this week. Winds have continued to be very variable, and definitely not the steady trade winds that were hoped for, but they are doing a great job. Although when the wind is good there has been some great sailing, along with the odd torrential downpour!
Time for a celebration with fruit punch and nibbles to mark the half way point on the 24th November. With Creamy tomato and Chorizo pasta followed by trifle the half way party culminated with a game of hide and seek! On a 60ft yacht there aren't many places to hide, but the watches managed it with some crew not being found!
With a bit of debris damaging the generator impeller a spot of maintenance to replace it added a different twist to the daily routine later in the week.
Our thoughts also go out at this time to Yacht Noah, which sank not long after starting our sister event, the ARC. All crew are safe and their story a reminder why the team at Clyde Challenger spend so much time and investment on safety equipment.
