"Welcome to Iceland" the tourist board said! The fleet were barraged with the anticipated storm curling around the East coast and the inevitable happened…shortened course and strap in after the finish if you can get over the line! They do this for the challenge and the love of ocean racing but sanity rules so sit back and enjoy it if you can stay the ride! Congratulations to Charlie and all of the IMOCA 60 fleet.
