Episode Twenty Five - Infuriating Leak - stars Boris Herrmann from Day 8 of The Retour A La Base 2023.
Boris starts the podcast by telling all the listeners about the infuriating leak he has coming into the boat and that it is really challenging he rates his mood as a five out of ten. Please all send some love to boris in the comments on Youtube, Insta or email and we will pass these on to him.
Currently he is often having to bail out the water to ensure that the boat and most importantly the engine and electronics are dry. The engine cover leaking issue is a problem and is not fully waterproofed. Boris explains he is currently having to wear boots in the boat all the time (a rare thing on Malizia) and having to bail out the water - he is over proportionally worried about it.
He has slept and eaten but he reminds the listener and himself that he should go bail water and sleep. He says the boat does super well downwind with the rough state - no nose diving. He keeps pushing in an attempt to be faster than direct competitors - 2 days to go and a dream to be in 4th but it is still 1000nm to go.
Arrive Sunday and then go and sit in the Creperie in Lorient - Boo't a Boo - the local favourite.
He says it is great to do the race in this boat - as they did the whole ocean race and only a few things have broken now. So could be an easy fix for the future. Boris lets us know that the rest of the boat works very well.
Boris could do with a better mood and he doesn't feel lonely - fingers crossed it stays that way. He hopes the listeners are happy and enjoying listeners - he will try to do another podcast tomorrow.
He found the issue with the sleeping and that his water hydration tablets have caffeine in them - a small but costly mistake.... we always continue to learn!
