After the loss of the powerful sail on Lady in Red, Milene are being cautious with their sail choice, not wanting to push the big maxi too hard this early in the event. Skipper Oyvin Halle has a novel way of keeping his crew on their toes. We have a Santa Claus hat, which the person who has made the biggest mistake onboard has to wear the next day, he says. If anybody can fly out some more hats it would be great because we need at least 10 of them. Onboard Milene, a big mistake also costs a case of beer.
Boats report good fishing already.
