December 22, 2012:
Finally some good wind for Team Plastique, it's great!
The anticyclone moved quickly. I enjoyed the quiet time to repair a gennaker and control the boat.
It is fine on board. For several hours, I am over 15 knots on average and I have some sun!
The wind arrived yesterday and once it became stable, I could cook and rest well.
I should cross the Amsterdam gate tomorrow morning (23 December).
After that, I’ll change direction in order to catch some wind and going down as quickly as possible to the next gate, the Western Australia which is located on the parallel between the meridians 460S 1030th and 1130th.
I prepare myself for a drop in temperature and normally strong wind.
Australia is getting closer …
