Sometimes those 3AM wake-ups really pay off, and this was certainly one of those mornings. The light at T6 went all Cecil B. de Mille about an hour before dawn, with a gunmetal grey sea, a dozen drifting pirogues, tired team members wading into the icy maw of the ocean, and the dawn light leaking out from the serried ranks of monochrome clouds scudding in on the horizon. It truly unfolded like the paraphrased remake of 'All Quiet on the Eastern Front. Racers were strewn around the transition like wounded soldiers, patching up scars, heating coffee water on their tiny stoves, sharing war stories and #SleepMonster incidents, or just in pause mode as they slip into the 1000-yard stare. This is what the #AR BattleFront looks like, and you cannot begin to imagine the ecstasy and agony until you have walked a thousand kilometers in their shoes. All I can say is that the @sonyalphasa #sonya7r3 rocks low light like nothing else, especially with thosr f1.8 lenses from @OrmsDirect 🙌🏻🙏 #itsallaboutrodrigues #ExpAfricaRodrigues # #arworldseries #expafrica2019 #SpotAfrica #ExpeditionAfrica #itsallaboutrodrigues #itsallaboutlove #kineticevents #ifollowthetribe #ishootwithorms #sonyxperiaza #hellosonyza #sonyza (at Port Mathurin) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1_xHeRptpv/?igshid=69tq8him3xty
