😳 “STUFF THE PENALTY!” Guido Hits Breaking Point After 4 Days of Calm! | GGR2026 Week 5

🌊 “I CAN’T STAND THIS PLACE ANYMORE! I WANT TO GET OUT OF HERE!” 😤⛵

FOUR DAYS OF CALM. A WATER-DAMAGED RADIO. AND A CONTROVERSIAL DECISION!

GGR2026 skipper Guido has had ENOUGH of the frustrating conditions in the Atlantic!

In this explosive Week 5 satellite phone conversation with GGR General Manager Georgie Vintner, Guido admits he’s been using his engine to escape the windless conditions — even if it means facing a penalty!

🔥 “I give priority to my mental sanity!”

And then comes the statement that says it all:

💥 “Stuff the penalty and let’s just carry on!”

After more than a month at sea, the endless calms are testing Guido’s patience. But he’s determined to keep moving south towards the trade winds, whatever the consequences.

📻 There’s also good news! Despite water ingress affecting his radio, Guido has managed to get it transmitting again on 14 MHz.

❤️ And don’t miss his special message in Italian to his family and friends back home!
