Vendée Globe leader for nearly two weeks now Charlie Dalin has a lead of nearly 200 miles again this morning as he races south-eastwards 270 nautical miles north of the Crozet Islands. The sea state, big, short crossed waves continues to be the limiting factor for Dalin on Apivia as he constantly tries to moderate his speed to look after the boat and himself. Still racing towards the back of the frontal system, it is a tough, relentless routine at the moment but Dalin said this morning he is in his strong wind rhythm trying to stay rested and monitoring the weather.
