For a first timer in the ‘big south’ Vendée Globe leader Charlie Dalin is setting a good pace on board Apivia. His lead this Saturday morning is more than 320 nautical miles and his routing shows him with an added advantage of passing the longitude of the Cape of Good Hope well to the south of the adverse current and seas created by the Agulhas Current. He is in good shape but there are still more than 18,000 miles of racing remaining, the course extended slightly with the decision to raise the Antarctic Exclusion Zone north at the Crozet islands
