"Yes, it’s true unfortunately (I'm stuck in a hole) but this is sailing and racing, this is part of going around the world just with sails, so it’s quite normal. I am in the high of the Azores, it’s quite complicated. So, now I am going a little north-east, east-north-east and west, north-west, just going one side then the other to go up north as fast as possible. I will join the west winds, there is a low pressure coming from the west.
"The situation is OK on board, there is sun outside, I’m in my T-shirt. I’m cooking some sweets. I’m taking care of the boat and using this time to clean the boat and my clothes and to prepare my clothes for the coming days when I will have strong winds. I’m going slowly but I hope in a little bit more than one week I’ll be there (in Les Sables d’Olonne)."
