In this episode I describe the 6,500Nm race from Punta Del Este in Uruguay to Charleston, South Carolina. The sailing was nothing to write home about but everything else about that trip was pretty unique. Terrible toothache required me to create a temporary dental solution at sea but having worked that out my watermaker then stopped working which left me with only two options; stop racing and stop into Brazil to get repairs done or keep racing and head on to Charleston and drink brackish water for two weeks. If you have been listening to this podcast for a while -you know what I choose ;)
