They are streaming live video each day!
All of the Juno crew are members of the Royal Malta Yacht Club, skipper David Anastasi telephoned the club this afternoon to say that all was well on board with great spirit in the team and it looked as though they would get out through the Messina Strait before the tide will turn.
Here is ther post from yesterday.
Once out of the harbour some local storm clouds brought with them squalls (high winds that come very quickly). We saw some boats tear their code 0’s, and spinnakers. On Juno we were not free of problems either. Even though we made the correct sail calls at the right times, at one point we lost both our spinnaker sheets and tack lines giving us major problems with one of our spinnakers. Due to great teamwork we managed to make a good recovery and now find ourselves sailing up the east coast of Sicily towards the infamous straights of Messina.
Thanks for reading and please look out for some live broadcasts tomorrow! We will update you half anchor before we turn on our ustream live channel on our Facebook page.
