Jean Le Cam (SynerCiel), ranked fifth 1,879 miles behind the Vendée Globe leader on Monday, is currently in a tricky situation: " The anticyclone has split in two so when you're right in the middle, it can be complicated. You are in a no-wind zone and then a few minutes later, you get wind. It can change really fast. Last night, I had no wind and I was sailing against the current, so I was definitely not progressing fast. The current is coming from the south, pushing you north, and at one point, it will face the one coming from the north. But the sea is quite pleasant, very relaxing, especially after the Southern Ocean. I saw something emerge from the sea, with water splashing, maybe it was a whale or a sperm whale. "
