FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
“We got hit by a massive freak wave, it was nothing like you’ve ever seen
before,” Brbora said.
The assistant director of the round-the-globe sailing contest, Justin Taylor,
said it would be up to doctors to determine whether the two injured mariners
were fit to return to the race later this month for the last leg of the
competition.
“I think a situation like this does bring the crew, they’re already tight
knit, but it brings them much closer together and I think that’s what is
happening and they are certainly relying on one another at the moment,”
Mr Taylor said.
Two other crew members with less severe injuries, and nine fellow sailors who
were unhurt will remain aboard their yacht, the Geraldton Western Australia,
which is competing against nine identical sailboats in the Clipper Around
the World Race.
They had been close to finishing the sixth leg of a 40,000-mile race that
began in July 31, 2011 in Southampton, England, and took the yachts to ports
in Brazil, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and China, then
across the Pacific Ocean en route to Oakland, California.
The Geraldton is using backup steering and communications systems to sail to
Oakland. After repairs there, the Geraldton will continue on the next leg of
the race, departing for Panama on April 14 with the goal of reaching Britain
again on July 22, 2012.
