This morning, just before 6 AM, when he was 50°30'275 S and 166°16'773 E, Bernard Stamm has broken the seal of his engine to be able to be at anchor. A complicated manoeuvre when you know the wind is blowing at 40 knots in the area.
He has since begun the repairs on his hydro generators. He cut off all the communication tools to save some energy to go back at sea when he will be done. The repairs should last from 25 to 48 hours. Anyway, looking at the weather forecasts, he should ideally leave before December 25 in order to escape from the powerful winds coming from the North. On land, seals, killer whales and sea elephants are watching.
