The Express 27 Elise also turned back, and enjoyed the best sailing of the day on the run home. "After we turned downwind, things became much easier," wrote skipper Nathalie Criou in her blog, "even in 25+ knots of wind. We took the headsail down and we were zipping along nicely under roger-pilot (a special type of eco-friendly autopilot that works with meat instead of gas). It was time to open the wine and start the grill."
