Episode Twenty One - Rhythm of Life - stars Rosalin Kuiper and Boris Herrmann from Leg 7 during The Ocean Race 2023. 

Boris and Rosie discuss their daily routines and how their life has started to evolve over the last days. 
What is your favourite podcast they ask?  Boris and Rosie thank the audience for their feedback - feel free to email us with your feedback on info@borisherrmannracing.com and we will forward the best feedback to the boat. 
The duo talk about how they sleep on board and what the rhythm of life is like at the moment. Boris is sleeping in the darkroom at the moment and describes what this is like. 
The weather is getting warmer and they can feel that they are traveling further south into warmer climate. They have 8-11 knots of wind and that there is now a long upwind to Cap Finistre.
They have been on a port tack for three days and are hoping that the wind will at some point turn or they fear that their track will look very bad on the next updates. They continue to discuss the weather, tactics and the weather shifts. They are continually looking at the competitors ahead to understand what the weather is doing up ahead. 
The duo talk about connecting to 11th hour and how they want more news from them. They then go on to talk about the rationing of food and that they are already rationing and not snacking as much. Boris talks about the Barcelona World Race with Ryan and that it took 100 days and that they had to ration the food quite dramatically as they only planned food for 100 days. They had almost no snacks anyway and they both lost a lot of weight. 
They also talk about how limited they are with water and how everything on the boat is rationed. They then look at how in the first world we have so much excess and that we waste so much and should use and consume less.

They are now back in good spirits and ready to push hard. 
They still don’t know they made the record and they are edging into calmer weather but still with good wind. They talk about the arrival into Aarhus and the excitement of approaching land and what they are looking forward to. 
They look at the weather systems they have been experiencing and why the routing and weather tactics have carried them to where they are. They talk about the sprint over the top of Scotland and how quickly the end is already approaching. 
They have been almost 90 days at sea since January and they analyse the transition from land to sea and what they struggled with. Newport was such a team and cosy feeling and that it was then much harder to leave. Both felt that the stop wasn’t long enough and so they found it hard to get back to the ocean.
