Vendée Globe

"Gliding along under moonlit skies. Need to watch out for squalls, which keep reminding us that this is no holiday cruise. After an afternoon with the speedo going crazy, I'm back in sight of Vincent the Terrible. Everything was going well and I was in my bunk when a 30-knot squall appeared and woke me from my nap.  Half an hour later, and with a few drops of rain on the fleece, as it wasn't worth putting on the wet weather gear, old Riou called me up:  "So "Memel", you were sleeping too when the squall arrived?" That's what it's been like during the night. In the end it was all good practice for the Doldrums.  But that's another story...Speak to you soon."

"Hi there,
Early in the night, the wind got up offering fine surfing conditions with speeds up to 24 knots.  Beautiful moonlit night with great clouds.  All's well, but I didn't get any sleep.  Not to worry.  I'll take a nap after the Canaries."
