Vendée Globe

"I have just had my worst night since the start of the race... I struggled for hours in the night during the black and icy squalls trying to get the gennaker furled. I was afraid I wouldn't manage it. Once rolled up, it came unrolled and became a real mess. It even got tangled up with the genoa for a while… Help!!  At one point I saw a shooting star and I made  wish that the boat was tidied up before the end of the night.  Just as I was slipping into my duvet, the pilot failed.  The boat broached and went over on her side, with the keel and ballast on the wrong side, heeled over at 90°.  Everything inside went flying, clothes, duvet, books, tool box... Everything is soaked. In the end the boat was tidied up by daybreak, so now I believe in shooting stars."
Jean-Baptiste Dejeanty (Groupe Maisonneuve)
