That was a tough and complicated leg. I’m back ‘home’ now in Italy - where I grew up - and it was amazing to sail into Genoa yesterday, to be welcomed by so many people, to hear crowds of people speaking Italian again!

Leg 2 of The Ocean Race Europe was such a mix - of weather, of speed, of wind - everything! It feels good to be sitting here in Cartagena, in my air-conditioned apartment, cool, showered, and in the quiet.
