Tanguy De Lamotte takes a swim


Hi all,

What a magical end to the night, the sea was so flat I could almost see the reflection of shooting stars. Incredible! Then the sun rose, it was beautiful, even though there was no wind, or very little. It was getting warm so I decided to take a swim…

I used the opportunity to check the rudder. It is actually more damaged on the side than I thought, I had to dive to see it. But it will be ok. I also took a look at the other rudder and the keel and they're fine too.

I swam a little, tied to Initiative-coeur with a rope, but the boat just wasn't moving. A nice red and white boat on the blue sea, it was the first time I could see it from the outside. I also saw fish, they were probabaly wondering what I was doing in the water.

I visited the top of the mast yesterday, and the bortom of the keel today. IMOCA yachts are huge!

Have a good night, you all, the wind is coming back and I'm feeling fresh, at least for a few hours…

Tanguy.
