buzzing about it it's one of the most
challenging ones in the Canaries
of the season so what we're happy to be
involved in this
it's from Los Cristianos to Santiago
definitely where is it
some Sebastian San Sebastian Inlet and
they like a mirror so bit like the
Sydney to Hobart maybe 21 21 mass yes
they need to Hobart a little bit further
but this is a sprint uh-huh okay okay
got some treacherous waters strong
currents heavy winds
yeah that's out there dick flat yeah um
this is one of the boats were racing
against Dutch Dutch flag boat Prince
that's Judith and Patrick
I feel I feel confident that we're gonna
get podium yeah yes I'm confident in our
abilities I'm confident in Chelsea
Strongbow fast boat probably most of all
my most confident thing about getting
podium there's only two boats racing Wow
listen one other ask the Machida the
Patrick yes I've also been given the
honors for sounding the air horn when it
starts so we're very excited by this
don't we you know if anyone else knows
I've been given the orders now you've
given yourself you don't need to get
this excited for Christmas or your
birthday already said no I know it's a
tube a grades look you can call it what
you want to call it everyone forget to
start somewhere right
this is like the America's Cup when it
first died I think it's gonna be better
than the other race that we accident
mian isn't doing good in the biobus gay
no nearly capsized oh that one and the
Isle of Wight one oh yeah yeah you
probably don't know this story but we
took my parents out when we first
brought Chelsea to go from Limington to
coho and there's this big race about
1800 boats in drew I think it's called
the around the island race on the Isle
of Wight and we sail straight for the
middle of it accidentally yeah no sorry
everyone never know this one's on we do
know this one's own let's hope we don't
get caught out by that little Fred
little fryer too bad you're catching
this up and it does like 40 knots
finished today boys

I'm saying it's done Brian it's 22
degrees yes but we're racing how will
people know who was sponsored by a very
serious event fate oh my god

yeah it's sweaty how you all ready for
the race part
[Music]
[Laughter]
and the race is on
should we get the sails up no why
hooks of wind and we make it
it's a motor race you know at the moment
at the moment actually seven dots now
what we doing got five you go to notes
the tree wins
are you doing Ryan well we can't say Oh
sighs come on we're not very good
at that you know from menudo oh yeah
[Applause]
would join a cat's anything funny oh my
god we've got a whale their pilot whales
apparently oh there any interesting
facts about pilot whales No
but now you ain't losing the race there
are spells up we did get the jib out but
we have to get it back in there wasn't
enough wind what's our speed
how's the race go am i annoying mid take
that wind in a minute and then we're
going to disappear
we got to LA gomera and spent a few days
there so we headed back to Mistress
Gianna fat lion father Liam and his
friend Nick
hi feelingly in to talk politics I was
Oh Nick it's pretty rough today
Dustin's 27 we're gonna get thumbs up
yeah the request of Leah okay do it what
you doing Ryan fishy
it's lima mixed last night Liam's my
brother mixed our friend and yeah
they're going tomorrow
[Music]
so yeah we are going to avail Gunray to
meet our friends Patrick intruder from
Bell grammar a we're going to go to the
Palmer
windy was completely wrong today
so far this said we met 20 knots 25
knots this morning and got 1.6 we may be
between the islands you get these
acceleration zones so maybe we'll get it
there you know hopefully we get wind a
lot of 30 knots which someone else's
told us is how here today yeah bit of
wind we're getting there fairly quickly
that some ago where we just left
we've got a bit more wind now we've got
about 10 knots inch but it's come in
from the exact way that we want to go so
yeah which is the complete opposite to
what Wendy said so we're gonna head out
a little bit and then see if we've got
across
so we've taken the jib in because the
wind picked up quite a lot and actually
we've we think the roller file is broke
yeah so that's another little thing to
fix
no yeah yeah so I picked up pretty
massively
and our speed even though we've got the
engine on and our main it's just under
four knots no idea oh yeah you know
you're in the Atlantic when your waves
have got waves we've now got 20-plus
knots of wind which is okay but in these
seas it sir is pretty rubbish
but everything so we've made the sales
smaller
and this is the white
so we've decided to turn around because
the swell was just ridiculous
the wind picked up to about 25 27 with
it Justin and we just didn't like it but
we weren't getting anyway we're doing
like two knots say we've given up we're
gonna go back to San Miguel we're
probably never gonna end up actually
leaving some ago yeah and yeah this is
this is it how what's our speed Ryan
oh I do not like these right
okay so it's calmed down a bit now but
that was that's the most scared I've I
think I've probably ever been the
fastest we've ever been what we were
doing 10 at points 10 knots the boat was
just being swung around everywhere
wasn't it the whole Burrell was in the
water that was horrific
that was absolutely horrific yeah 27
knots downwind plus tani wow it was 10
with the waves but 8 at the low between
8 and 10 add it onto that fan of mine
with beginners literally stop there and
now it's just nothing now it looks fine
Brian you did so well then we did a work
together there I just held on and cried
okay so to make matters worse we didn't
realize that the tanks were filled
oh my god it's making my eyes all right
oh my god I can't breathe
and the worst part about this is I need
to get into that cupboard to open it to
empty forever dear oh my god my magic
cookies
this is definitely a low of boat life
and I went oh about this my one
