Are WIIG weekly satellite call 16/08/18 by Golden Globe Race published on 2018-08-16T12:19:00Z Are WIIG in to GGR headquarters for his weekly satellite phone call. Comment by Simen Rough translation: Hello everybody. Really fun that somebody is following. As you may have seen, the wind has been close hauled/reached for over 2000nm, mainly because i chose to go straight south from equator, and not towards brazil. Im not sure if i gained on doing it, it might be just the same. (south or towards brazil). Iv sailed a shorter distance, but iv had less wind too. The boat is excellent. (inaudible) works well. I lost a part for the (gally)stove, but i have jet-boil and a dickerson stove wich i can heat food on. So it will work out. Im having a good time, of course i would have liked to sail a bit faster, but im quite happy with my position today anyway. Im hoping it is a little fun to follow, at least its fun to sail here. Im looking forward to the 40's, both because of the excitement/adventure and because of the (inaudible). Right now its blowing 30-40 knots. We will see how it is when we get there. Ok tom, thank you. 2018-08-28T00:17:00Z
