Week 7 of Neils Clipper Adventure
🌊 New Life on Team Washington DC 🌊
What a week it’s been out on the ocean…
The fleet has been pushing through the Caribbean, facing everything from relentless squalls to moments of perfect sailing. One minute it’s blue skies and steady 15-knot winds the next, torrential rain and powerful gusts testing every ounce of skill and resilience onboard. And yes,the boat is still on its side most of the time! Imagine trying to live, move, and sleep while walking on a wall!
And for those wondering 👀
They’ve officially crossed into the Bermuda Triangle but don’t worry, we’ve had contact from Neil (and even a sighting on the Clipper page 😅), so he’s safe and still going strong!
It’s been a week of big tactical moves and tough lessons across the fleet. Team Warrant made a bold push east for the Scoring Gate, securing valuable bonus points before getting caught in challenging conditions. Meanwhile, Team Washington DC has been battling hard, currently sitting mid-fleet after a tough stretch along the Florida coastline and a 6-hour penalty after sailing too close to a wreck.
Even Neil’s previous team, GOSH, are feeling the pressure, maybe they’re missing Neil their secret weapon? 😉
Despite it all, Neil is thriving. Reports say helming through storms has been “amazing” and we think it’s safe to say he’s right at home behind the wheel now. 💪
Life onboard isn’t easy, it’s still hot, cramped below deck, and even getting in and out of a bunk is a challenge. But spirits remain high as the finish draws closer.
