Home sweet home - 30-31 of July

Last 24 hours all ship crew and trainees all the night were on their feet. It was because of that, that there were left not very much till the end of the race, but wind was not very good for us and every minute we had to be prepared for tacking and very fast come to battle station.

And in the middle of the day we have had tacked twice and in the afternoon of 30 of July we have crossed the finish line of the race. That evening the sunset was incredible. The rain was coming and we saw sun between horizon of the sea and rain clouds. It was amazing!!!!

Everybody in the ship just stopped and they were enjoying of the sunset... After that has come the final results – Christian Radich in the class A – FIRST!!!!!!

After that Captain gave order to pull up the sails and last hours till we reach my hometown Klaipeda was started. In the last our watch (00.00-04.00) we were so busy that I haven't felt when all preparation jobs where finished – all night we where preparing ship for hers staying in harbor. In that watch we had nice surprise – Grete and Vivi has made pancakes in Norwegian.By the way – this night was the first night when I had possibility to feel what does it means to be in the sea when the rain has come...

After interesting day and short watch we all went to sleep. An I awoke then, when I had possibility to say -”Welcome to Lithuania!” :)
