Jean Le Cam takes stock of the South
Now that he was able to rest a little after crossing Cape Horn and take advantage of the slightly less icy waters of southern Argentina, Jean Le Cam , currently 7th (but with sixteen hours of bonuses) takes stock of the southern seas. “The Great South? Average less, even less more more! It was misery. A sea twisted in all directions. It was a really crazy situation. I’ve never seen that. There were weather systems going north-south instead of the usual east-to-west lows, with very opposing winds, resulting in mind-blowing seas. I’m glad I got out of there. It was the total! What King John does not say is that it is also a little thanks to this that the foilers have never been able to gain speed to really sow him.
The Diraison as at the beach
There are some who have not yet left the galley of the South ( in total + Sam Davies who is out of the race). Among them, Stéphane le Diraison. Current 19 e Vendée Globe on Time for Oceans still battles the raging waters of the South and mentally prepares to take the broth in the days to come.
