Ci svegliamo e andiamo a terra: obiettivo spesa e pieno al dinghy. Spuntate le due mansioni del giorno ci gustiamo un ottimo pranzetto preparato da Matteo che come al solito tira fuori un asso dalla manica. Pochi ingredienti, ben miscelati. Il segreto di ogni chef, in fondo, si nasconde nella semplicità. Dopo alcune call di lavoro tiriamo su l’ancora e facciamo prua su anse noir, poco sotto fort de France. Inizialmente onda formata vento teso (soliti 20 nodi), ma Julia ormai si diverte leggera e spensierata. Sarà che le novità spesso spaventano, sarà che il mare sembra sempre minaccioso quando si presenta con onde più alte di due metri, ma il segreto sta nel farci amicizia. Non ha senso resistere alle cose, bisogna lasciarsi andare e seguirne il flusso. E noi oggi abbiamo fatto così: Julia è una barca in salute che ha voglia di galoppare e noi le lasciamo redini morbide e diamo gambe. Così una giornata che tempo fa ci avrebbe fatti stare tesi in attesa dell’arrivo, oggi ce la siamo goduta con il sorriso. Lezione messe nello zaino oggi: ciò che spaventa oggi non è detto che non diventi un tuo amico domani. Quindi avanti così, sempre vigili, sempre previdenti, ma con un sorriso in più A.

2023 RORC Caribbean 600 & RORC Caribbean 600 Series. The RORC Caribbean 600 is a totally unique annual race and will celebrate its 14th year in 2023. The race is organized by the Royal Ocean Racing Club (RORC), a London and Cowes based club with a worldwide reputation for the management of offshore races. Since its inception in 2009 the RORC Caribbean 600 has earned recognition as one of the world’s classic offshore races and is a firm fixture on the international racing calendar and on the bucket list of any serious offshore sailor. Starting and finishing in Antigua, the unique 600-mile course uses 11 Eastern Caribbean islands as turning marks, providing an interesting challenge for both navigators and crew. With such a long racing course, the finishing times can vary by days. The RORC work with Falmouth-based Antigua Yacht Club and their army of local volunteers, supporting the management of this great event. Every yacht to finish the race is met with a welcoming cold beer – much appreciated after the 600 nautical mile challenge! For the first time in 2023 RORC introduces the RORC Caribbean Series aimed at providing a mix of competitive inshore and coastal racing before embarking on the challenges of the classic 600 mile offshore race. The series is expected to consist of: • Two days of inshore and short coastal races on Tuesday 14 and Wednesday 15 February 2023 • Layday on Thursday 16th February • The popular 360 Round Antigua Race on Friday 17 February • With prizegiving for the series joining the traditional opening party on Saturday 18 February • RORC Caribbean 600 starting Monday 20th February #Caribbean600 #RORCracing
