Name - Isabelle Diebold
Nationality - German I Age - 27
Status - Partner
Experience - Dinghys and Maxissince January 2006
Weight - 50 kg I Weightloss Leg I - 2kg
On May 25th we finally startet. I joined Dave (40) and my Partner Luke (30), both professional Skippers. The Mission was to deliver a Fountaine Pajot 46 to Cairns (Australia). So we put the dinghy on the boat, pulled the ropes in and drove out of the harbour. I climbed on the boon, opened the Boombag and pulled up the mainsail. Up we went in nearly 30 knots, rocking in 5 m waves - and I were sick. It seems I am not quite fit for the Volvo70s yet. Due to a lot of drinking in the Papeete Pubs the night before, my companions did not feel much better. Fortunately this was the only occasion on the whole journey I was 'seasick'.
