Skipper's log: Samantha Davies - Initiatives-Cœur - IMOCA

Good morning from Initiatives Coeur!
All is good on board! It’s been a great run so far and we have already achieved a new record top speed for the boat - 34.2 knots reaching yesterday! The only problem so far is that the AIS/VHF antenna can’t hold on to the top of the mast at these speeds and we’ve lost it. So we’re running our backup antenna on the transom which has a smaller range!
A sunny morning here, much slower today but the computer tells me that we’re at 100% for the current wind conditions! We’re making the most of the slower sailing to catch up on some sleep as the first 36h were a bit busy!!!
