First toast of the crew:
- THE PAKEA LEFT THE FIRST STAGE BUT RETURNED TO THE SECOND: Unai Basurko’s Pakea Cadenote, which after starting the competition had to return to land (Porto) to fix some technical problems and set sail again for Angra, finally abandoned (after falling far behind the rest of the fleet and with very little wind) the first stage of the regatta to be able to reach Azores at the same time as the rest of the crews. Yes, he is contesting the second stage, although with Antonio Tea as skipper.
