After losing time under the famous cloud yesterday, I’ve really got back into the thick of the action. In fact I’ve just been speaking with Seb, and I can see Armel. It’s quite nice to be sailing within sight of everyone.

Our monohulls being fairly similar in terms of performance, it’s rare to be able to escape. Having said that it’s true that since the start, there have been two or three tricky passages which have favoured those behind. The opposite would be most welcome right now so we can benefit too!

We’re currently faced with a kind of gamble which is making all of us aim for a zone where there isn’t any wind for the time being. The onus here is on not distancing ourselves too far from the direct route and on finding the right point to make the long turn. The inside bend is full of gravel and the outside edge is clear but increases the distance to be travelled. It’ll be interesting to see who gets out first!
