Kito de Pavant, skipper, Made in Midi (Class40)

Hello friends,

After a sluggish, wet night on the port tack, we tacked south with the help of a big wind shift. You’ll think that I already told you that yesterday and that I’m rambling, but that’s how it is. But this time it's finally done - we'll see tomorrow…

All the gear has gone from port to starboard, and it didn’t do it by itself, but four arms aren’t that many. But the good news of the morning is that we are leading the Transat Jacques Vabre. Not by much! But yesterday we were 15 miles behind, so we worked well. We are now off to Portugal en route to Madeira.

The wind is up a notch and it is not for us to say no.

All is well aboard Made in Midi

We will send you photos as soon as possible. Promise!
