Round Denmark Race med Xusidus
Göran Artman är en av de som idag kommer att starta i Round Denmark Race. 660 distans solo i en X-382 blur en verklig utmaning. Förutom Göran så seglar också Anders Nyberg solo i sin RM1350 Embla. Vi har också några svenska team som kör doublehanded.
Jag har lovat att hjälpa Göran med support från land; väderprognoser, coaching och allmänt support från land. Vi har ju seglat mot varandra många gånger, och nu senast var Göran med på transporten av Blur från Malta till Aten.
Jag tänkte vara transparent med min kommunikation, och lägga ut det mesta här. Sätter lite extra press på både mig och Göran.
Kom gärna med tips och inspel!
