Visit Valle D’aosta (128) – Roger Junet \/ Estelle Greck<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00ab Hi all, the start of the race has been fairly wet and quick. For once, we passed Saint-Marcouf and Wight with some breeze. All\u2019s well aboard. We\u2019ve been really lucky to have this moon with us!! We\u2019ve just eaten our first hot meal, which has done us the world of good! We\u2019re resting as far as the south-west tip of England as it won\u2019t be easy to get around. It\u2019s nice weather, not too cold, so great conditions! See you soon. \u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n

Edenred (165) – Emmanuel Le Roch \/ Basile Bourgnon<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00ab Hi all. The calm conditions have been ongoing since 17:00 hours. We have a fabulous sunset, but the lack of breeze is a bit hard on the nerves, especially when it seems to be working to the right, the left, above and below us. We\u2019re taking it in turns at the helm to ensure we do a good job. The fleet has squeezed right back together. We\u2019re awaiting the wind, which is due to kick back in for a fresh start to Tuskar. It\u2019s a great atmosphere. We\u2019re eating, sleeping and performing well. \u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n

Unep \/ Univerre (168) – Renaud Courbon \/ Fran\u00e7ois Champion<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00ab Hello land. It\u2019s been a bit more complicated. The wind has died and we\u2019re at a standstill. In fact, we\u2019re going backwards! On a positive note, we\u2019re tucking into some cold sausage and it\u2019s a fabulous setting. However, it may start to seem like time is dragging a bit soon. At least we\u2019ve had the chance to watch a magnificent sunset. As we watch out for the slightest sniff of breeze and keep on smiling, we\u2019re ready to switch to action mode. Goodnight.<\/em>\u00a0\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n

Kite (144) – Greg Leonard \/ Hannes Leonard<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00ab Well, it was an intense 30 hours with the lively breeze at the start and the fruity channel crossing. The Mach 3s are not known for their dry comfort and Kite did not disappoint. The Solent passage was uneventful with a kind following current.\u00a0 Monday offered glorious spinnaker conditions albeit requiring constant attention. These are the days we dream of as sailors. At least until the wind disappears as it did just before Land’s End. We now find ourselves trying mightily to keep up with Black Mamba in 2 kts of wind and as much current at times. The Longships lighthouse was ghostly lurking in the shadows as we passed nearby trying to hide from the current. We are looking forward to a more spirited climb of the Irish Sea. So far, we are happy to have seen many fulmars, kittiwakes, and gannets. Cheers. Hannes and Greg. \u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n

Le Bleuet de France (135) – Charlotte Cormouls-Houl\u00e8s \/ Claire-Victoire de Fleurian<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00ab Hello land, all\u2019s well on the Bleuet de France: we\u2019re finally out of the calm conditions and we\u2019re making headway towards Land\u2019s End under spinnaker at 8 knots. It\u2019s been a wonderful day: great speeds under spinnaker this morning, which prompted a broach shortly before we exited the Solent. We had a sunny afternoon, but it was too calm: we made the mistake of sticking to the north of the TSS, which led to being becalmed for a number of hours\u2026 However, it was a great opportunity for us to rest as the first night was testing in terms of fatigue and there\u2019s still a long way to go! Goodnight all, Charlotte and Claire-Victoire. \u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n

Chinook (124) – Julia Virat \/ Melodie Schaffer<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00ab Hello all. A deep orange round moon has just risen, it\u2019s magnificent! And it looks all the better now that the boat is finally powering along at a decent speed. Since my last message 24 hours ago, there have been a whole load of sail changes and manoeuvres. Last night, we got slightly caught out by the current before rounding the Isle of Wight (it was our second punishment after yesterday\u2019s technical woes, which included a night with a succession of blackouts, which killed the power to the autopilot and quickly sent the boat over on her ear! We\u2019ve since resolved the issue. The passage through the Solent went very well as it was broad daylight for us! At least that\u2019s one benefit of our memorable deficit\u2026 Once we were clear of there, we spent the whole afternoon trapped in a windless zone, but I understand that those in front of us also had a short passage void of air. We then decided to take a southern option across the Casquets TSS to link more quickly onto a steadier breeze and get in more westing by avoiding the effects of the south coast of England. Fingers crossed. So that\u2019s where we\u2019re at. The spinnaker has filled nicely with a J2 on top and hup, she\u2019s rocketing along. It doesn\u2019t take away the disappointment of our deficit, but there\u2019s no choice other than to hang on in there and bounce back. There\u2019s a sense of frustration at slogging it out for such a disappointing ranking, but there are so many things still to learn, as much in terms of our new pairing, as sailing Chinook, which I\u2019m yet to find my feet on. For now, she\u2019s surfing along and she seems to like it! I\u2019m going back to look at the moon and the sails and remain focused. Goodnight land! \u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n

D\u00e9kuple (184) – Pietro Luciani \/ Hugo Picard<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00ab Le coup de Trafalgar \u00e0 la pointe anglaise. Pas de bataille navale cette fois, ou simplement v\u00e9lique, alors que nous avions une dizaine de milles de retard sur la flotte, le courant et les vents faibles ont rebattus les cartes et nous ont permis de recoller au groupe de t\u00eate. Apr\u00e8s un bon bord de poney en milieu de nuit, nous voil\u00e0 aux coude \u00e0 coude avec les copains, dont Edenred. Travers\u00e9e de la Mer Celtique express, nous arriverons en milieu de matin\u00e9e \u00e0 Turskar Rock avant de mettre le cap sur le Fastnet. On ne l\u00e2che rien. \u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
