Vendée Globe

"I just passed a container ship just 300 metres away. The AIS showed it was there and the alarm was triggered, but the distances are not being calculated. All of the plugs are rusty, so I think there's a loose contact. But the main thing is the alarm is working. At 7h30 this morning I was just 5 nautical miles from Corvo, the northwestern island in the Azores. I was able to see the sun rise over this final waypoint in the Vendée Globe. A great feeling because of the decent weather. I'm gliding along at high speed towards the finish and the only problem I have is the low-charge alarm which keeps ringing as my batteries don't seem to be able to charge properly. Apart from that I'm in finishing mode."
