Third bell

      Third bell
      Vladimir Snegirev on the Golden Globe Race bronze medal winner Uku Randmaa.

Uku the day before the start.His boat number 2. "width =" 643 "height =" 367 "data-caption =" His boat number 2. "> <p>In the theater, the third bell means the beginning of the performance. The third time in the world globe “Golden Globe” survival regatta the bell tolls about the finish of the bronze medalist – Estonian Uku Ranmaaa. </p> <p>We can say that this is a great drama, set on the expanses of three oceans and brilliantly played by the most courageous yachtsmen of the world, almost ended. There is, however, another participant who most likely will also meet the deadline for the organizers (312 days) – this is a Hungarian-American, Istvan Kopar, and then the curtain will finally be closed. The last fifth sailor (out of seventeen who started on July 1, 2018) Finn Tapio Lehtinen, according to forecasts, will finish only in May, which automatically excludes him from the standings. </p> <p>The remaining twelve were unlucky; they had gone the distance before Cape Horn. </p> <p>The third place of the 56-year-old Estonian Uku Randmaa can be quite considered a sensational result. Yes, he had the experience of a solo circumnavigation, but then walked around the oceans on a fancy yacht, with modern navigation, communications and other gadgets that are completely prohibited in the Golden Globe. And then spent on the Around the World exactly a year. Now Uku turned around in 252 days. </p> <p>Wow, he's a dark jacket! Before the start said:</p> <p>-I would only get to the finish line, the leader will never happen. I am going to have fun, not to win. <br /> I don’t know if he enjoyed it? Even in the middle of the Atlantic on the way back he ran out of food. He saved himself by fishing. And in the Southern Ocean, the hull of his yacht was so heavily overgrown with shells, that Uka had to dive under the bottom of his boat and clean the ballast with a knife. Once I barely escaped when a huge shark approached the yacht. Many other adventures have happened – there will be something to remember on the shore. </p> <p>It is also interesting that almost from the very beginning Uku was led by Russian radio amateurs, they helped him keep in touch with his family, supported him. And the whole second half of the race with him almost every day was in touch radio amateur from Riga Andrei Pankin. It can be called the co-author of "Bronze". </p> <p>Nice man, this Uku. The typical son of his people. Slow, neat, polite. Speaks softly, stretching words. Really "hot Estonian guy."</p> <p>He well remembers the Olympics-80, because her yacht program was held in Tallinn, in a place called Pirita. </p> <p>“Ucu,” I asked him before the start in the marina of the French town of Le Sable — after all, after the collapse of the USSR, many Balts left for the West to look for a better life. And you did not have such a desire?</p> <p>“Someone left,” he replied softly, “someone has returned.” This is not so catastrophic. I am an Estonian, I value my roots and will not go anywhere.</p> <p>-What about the sponsor? After all, the preparation for the GGR-18 was worth a lot of money. </p> <p>-Not. All by myself. A sponsor is good, but even better without a sponsor. It allows you to be independent.</p> <p>– Do you have any fans in Estonia?</p> <p>-Probably not. Yes, I do not need. I go without a sponsor, which means that no one is engaged in my PR. But I have nothing but pleasure. </p> </p> <p> 532 March 11, 2019 # 8841<br />                                                     <br />       <br />     </pre> <p>Chief Editor</p> <!-- relpost-thumb-wrapper --><div class=
