Hello everyone,
Today has been a day of celebration for ACCIONA 100% EcoPowered. At 22H GMT and 25 minutes on January 21, we crossed our own trail from the descent down south, which means ACCIONA 100%EcoPowered has now circumnavigated the world with eco-efficient energy and is the first to have achieved this without stopping.
It is a huge milestone in offshore sailing and also in the use of eco-efficient energy.
I want to take this chance to congratulate Acciona and the whole team…
But it doesn’t end here, the Vendée Globe continues and there are still 4,300 miles until the finish line. In an hour’s time I will tack north and theoretically, I will have two more tacks before I can make a heading towards the equator, which is about 100 miles from here. From now on it will be very difficult to change positions but we will give it a try… There is still a long way to go!
I’m now using the hydro-generators more than ever, since for a few days it has been cloudy with rain, and the hydro-generators are taking on the main charge and working as usual.
