Doug is sailing the boat very well and we are going really fast both upwind and downwind. I give a lot of credit to Don Kelly, the boat captain. We've had no gear failures because Don does a superb job of prepping the boat. He makes my job a lot easier.

Our tactics are just to keep out of trouble, avoid protest situations, sail the boat well and keep out of the corners. We?re going fast, we have a good crew and we?re just going to try and build on our points lead.

When I'm all grown up, come what may,
I'll build a boat to carry me away

From what we've seen and heard here, the latest trend in migrant smuggling from Cuba is the go-fast boat. For those that go the route of migrant smuggling, they leave themselves at the mercy of smugglers who don't have an interest in their safety. They are interested in the cash.

I'd love to have a proper sailing boat and go around the world.

The cruising life isn't for all of us. It isn't even for most
of us, but it is for some of us, and for a few of us it is essential to survival.
