"All is well with us, we’re on the road at full throttle towards the Atlantic on a port tack. Last night, we had to lose a bit of canvas and there was a lot of manoeuvres. We make the choice to go west of the TSS (Trafic Separation Scheme) to get a better angle and more wind in the coming hours as we approach the small depression. We hope we’ll win enough in the west to not slow down. At the moment, there’s 30 knots with gusts of 35 and a choppy sea. We have stacked anything heavy and we’re trying to helm optimally. We are taking turns every half hour to stay sharp. We finding out a little bit about the boat in strong wind and we’re happy with the behaviour. It's very positive for us.”
