Catalonian fireman Didac Costa is ready for his second Vendee Globe with his famous IMOCA One Planet One Ocean. This will be his third round the world with the boat which Ellen MacArthur had built for the 2000-1 race in which she finished second. Didac is hoping for a less stressful start than last time when he had to return to Les Sables d'Olonne with water damage to his generator. The battle to restart was massively helped by his counterparts from the Les Sables d'Olonne fire service. That relationship has been rekindled since he arrived and Costa is in good shape, looking forwards to the rest he hopes he will finally get during next week's enforced confinement.
