It has been hairy at times, but now with 3 reefs in the main and the reacher up, I'm able to get some rest. The pace remains a bit frantic, and I've done 32.2 knots ... 2008-12-16 16:31:43 http://www.vendeeglobe.org/en/newswire/7223/failures-are-bound-to-happen.html http://www.vendeeglobe.org/en/newswire/7187/greatest-distance-over-24-hours.html <p>Over the past 24 hours, it is S&eacute;bastien Josse (BT), who covered the greatest distance towards the finish.

It's great, there's no strain on the boat as the seas are flat, it's very stable and with the aft ballast full the bow is out of the water, I'm just like on a massive dinghy. ... 2008-12-10 16:01:47 http://www.vendeeglobe.org/en/newswire/6921/seb-josse-on-a-massive-dinghy.html http://www.vendeeglobe.org/en/newswire/6675/indian-ocean-conditions.html <p><em>&quot;The waves were typical of the Indian Ocean.&nbsp; That means short and steep, with a height sometimes reaching more than 6 metres.
