is as sung in the song
"Love is like the blue sky and white clouds, clear sky, sudden storm"
Moreover, there are not only storms
There are also crackling hail
The weather in Qingdao is like a drama artist on the upper body
all over the body, that's a "wonderful"
Of course, in the distant Atlantic, the competition of the Clippers is even more exciting.
Let's take a look~~~
"
The leading echelon of the Clippers has entered the final sprint stage of schedule 11: the "Nasdaq Cup". It is expected that the race will be completed within 24 hours. This period of Panama's competition from New York station will be exciting and full of highlights.
Most of the schedules of the Clippers 2017-18 World Race are exciting and intense, and the final stage of schedule 11 is no exception. The latest expected arrival time shows that most teams will finish the race from this afternoon to evening from World Standard Time, and the period before and after should be within eleven hours.
"PSP Logistics Number" leads the fifth consecutive day. At the time of writing this article, it is more than 30 nautical miles ahead of the second place "Britain" and is only 77 nautical miles away from the finish line. The captain of
"PSP Logistics" Matt Mitchell expressed satisfaction with the team's performance. The report said: "We made rapid progress towards the finish line. When I wrote the report, it was less than 80 nautical miles away. Today's voyage was smooth, with clear skies and pleasant winds." The pursuit echelon behind
is quite work. At the time of writing this article, the gap between the second and sixth places was only 26 nautical miles. The wind conditions in the next 24 hours are expected to be varied, and the results of the second and third places are still full of variables.
"British" captain Dave Hartshorn explained in the report: "The interesting part of the game is that no one can guess what the ending is. We moved forward at a speed of 14 to 15 knots earlier, and now the speed has dropped to around 7 knots."
"Sanya Novel World Mid-mountain Peninsula" ranked third at the time of writing and has been experiencing changing wind conditions. The report of
Captain Wendy Tuck wrote: "Today's weather is quite mixed. We moved forward quickly under the main push of the current earlier. The speed was so fast, like an acrobatic performance, which was very fun. The wind and sea conditions slowed down. Now the sails were raised and headed straight towards the finish line."
"'United Nations Children' is our rearview mirror, which has been following us, and the other side is following the 'Gamin Aviation' and 'Nasdaq'. The last two position updates showed that we had exchanged positions with the sixth team. It was really not the end until the end, and the game was not over."
In order to try to complete the competition at the home port New York station as far as possible, the "Nasdaq" team did its best without reservation, and at Elliot Brown won the first place in the Ocean Racing competition. After completing the 180 nautical miles of racing, we won the highest three extra points, which took 15 hours, 14 minutes and 10 seconds, and the average speed during the racing process reached 12 knots.
"Gaming Aviation" won the second place with only 29 minutes and 1 second difference, with two extra points, and "Britain" won the last point in the third place, which took 16 hours, 24 minutes and 25 seconds, 15 minutes and 15 minutes faster than the "Qingdao" completed in the fourth place.
Before sprinting at the finish line, Captain Rob Graham of the Nasdaq reported: "We dealt with several waves of changeable wind conditions last night, just as we passed by the squall wind activity area. In the next few hours, with the help of the current, we moved north quickly."
"The wind conditions are a bit harsh for the No. 2 (medium weight sail), but as time goes by, the situation improves slightly. For better performance, I decided to go on the deck and replace the No. 1 (light weight sail) with a mileage of 1,900 nautical miles from Panama to New York Station: The "Nasdaq Cup" is coming to an end.
