The opening ceremonies were a sight to be seen, as the participants paraded around the deck while leaving Jamaican waters. They soon settled into their first event:
Blue Water Sailing.
As the WTP crossed from Jamaica to Colombia, the crew rotated through their watch schedule as usual. However, they now kept track of miles covered during a watch period. The miles were tallied up in Cartagena, and the medals were awarded as follows:
1) Most Miles (over 17 hours)
Gold: Trevor, with 100 miles
Silver: Adam, with 99 miles
Bronze: Alan, with 89 miles
2) Fastest Pace (avg over one watch)
Gold: Trevor (6.75 kts)
Silver: TIE - Alan & Adam (6.33 kts)
Bronze: -
Look for the results from many more events as the days go on, including Chess Tournament, Dinghy Row, Price Haggling, Best Haiku, and many more (ideas welcome)!
