As the 48th Rolex Fastnet Race moves through its fourth day, the flood of arrivals continues. The window of opportunity for those pursuing overall victory is narrowing and, after four days, crews still at sea are beginning to tire. Finishing well is dependent upon full commitment to performing at the best of one's ability and remaining resolute until the finish. The American yacht Wizard is currently in top spot, but the prevailing characteristic of Rolex Fastnet Race crews is to persevere to the very end, meaning the result remains in the balance. Nearly a century old, the Rolex Fastnet Race remains one the most inspiring and recognizable offshore racecourses in the world. Supported by Rolex since 2001, the race is organized by the Royal Ocean Racing Club, and the 2019 race has attracted a record fleet of 388 yachts ready and willing to test themselves against one of the toughest of offshore races.

🇧🇷 Uma placa de gelo com uma mancha escura que se mexe. Me aproximo e descubro um grande grupo de morsas. Animais enormes, quase do tamanho de metade do barco, com duas longas presas. Deixo o barco à deriva e algumas nadam ao nosso lado. Eu nunca tinha visto esses animais fora d’água. A placa de gelo é pequena demais para abrigar o grupo todo, e as morsas estão amontoadas umas sobre as outras. Algumas parecem brigar, batendo as presas umas contra as outras. Elas têm os hábitos típicos dos mamíferos que se sentem à vontade: dormem, arrotam e soltam gases que me deixam tonta no barco. Me afasto do grupo, porque ainda há muito gelo pela frente e, em breve, serei eu quem vai precisar desesperadamente dormir. 🇫🇷 Une plaque de glace sur laquelle on distingue une tache sombre qui bouge. Je m’approche et découvre un grand groupe de morses. D’énormes animaux, presque aussi grands que la moitié du bateau, dotés de deux longues défenses. Je laisse le bateau à la dérive et certains nagent à nos côtés. Je n’avais jamais vu ces animaux hors de l’eau. La plaque de glace est trop petite pour accueillir tout le groupe, et les morses sont entassés les uns sur les autres. Certains semblent se battre, entrechoquant leurs défenses. Ils ont les habitudes typiques des mammifères qui se sentent à l’aise : ils dorment, rotent et lâchent des gaz qui me donnent le vertige sur le bateau. Je m’éloigne du groupe, car il reste encore beaucoup de glace à parcourir et, d’ici peu, ce sera moi qui aurai désespérément besoin de dormir. 🇺🇸 An ice floe with a dark, moving spot on it. I get closer and find a large group of walruses. Huge animals, almost half the size of the boat, with two long tusks. I let the boat drift, and some of them swim alongside us. I’d never seen these animals out of the water before. The ice floe is too small to hold the whole group, and the walruses are piled on top of one another. Some seem to be fighting, clacking their tusks against each other’s. They have the typical habits of mammals that feel at ease: they sleep, burp, and pass gas, which makes me dizzy on the boat. I move away from the group, because there’s still a lot of ice ahead, and soon I’ll be the one who desperately needs to sleep.
