Another week of Lockdown at Level 4. We both have plenty of 'projects' to keep us from wearying especially this week as we cannot meet for our Once a Week Coffeemeet-up (socially distanced) out on the edge of Milngavie.
Be that as it may here are some photos of the 2020 Vendée Globe Yacht Race [Accueil - Vendée Globe ]. (single handed round the world yacht race) which I have been following. All boats have now crossed the Equator. These shots are about celebrating that event. They break open a bottle of something and toast Nepture (by splashing some over the side), then the boat and then it's down the hatch glug, glug, glug.
From the cockpit various things are launched ...
Buoys for collecting scientific data are launched ...
More photos of other drama - damage (probably hitting objects in the water) to boats 'Uidentified Floating Objects') which required repair
Cutting off the tip of the foil using a drill cutter
These big boats have not been without their problems ...
