Pieter in good spirits 2005-06-21 18:23:01 

Despite the damage to his Open40 RoboSail, skipper Pieter Adriaans remains in good spirits, he told his team through his Iridium satellite phone today. Though the list of repairs-to-do keeps on growing, Pieter is confident he will be able to finish the race as intended. "I don't think I'll break any records though", he said.

The skipper himself is in good spirits: he eats well, sleeps well and keeps a steady schedule. Talking to his friends and loved ones through his satellite phone is important to him, he adds. "They make me feel less alone, whenever I'm frustrated by another dirty job to do - alone", he says. But: "despite everything, I feel at home. At home at sea".
