Det hårdt prøvede Scallywag Team har her til aften dansk tid meldt ud at de i respekt og for at ære deres mistede ven John Fisher, vil gennemfører resten af Volvo Ocean Race.
Så lige nu kæmper teamet mod uret. De har lige godt 14 dage til at få deres båd fragtet fra Chiele til Itajaí i Brasilien, så de kan blive klar til 8. etape mod New Port RI.
Teamet mistede som bekendt en af deres folk - John Fisher som blev 'slynget' over bord i Sydhavet, og det lykkedes ikke for teamet at finde deres kammarat.
På teamets Facebook kan man læse deres flotte besked:
Scallywags never give up!
When you’re feeling the pain
And you’re sick of the game
But you’re young and you’re brave and you’re bright
You pick yourself up and dust yourself down
Cos it’s the carrying on that’s hard.
Scallywags will continue!!
Our delivery crew have arrived and we are now in a race against the clock to make the start in Brazil for the next leg. We are all hurt but we are not out!!
Scallywags never ever give up!!
We will make the start we will look after each other we will finish the race and do the best job we can for all Scallywags in John’s memory and honor.
On behalf of all the team I would like to thank all our supporters for all the messages of support it has helped us enormously in this difficult time.
Witty
