Pascal Bidégorry, co-skipper 11th Hour Racing (IMOCA)

Everything is fine. We have a difficult (satellite) connection, so we don’t have much weather info but that's how life is. Charlie (Enright) and I are working well together. We made some changes on the boat before the race and I think it's much better upwind. These difficult choices of which road to take are not a surprise, but it’s more complicated without much weather info; crossing the depression and knowing that we’ve got a long way to go on a port tack is not our choice and not getting us anywhere. I’m not surprised that the fleet has taken two options. I don’t know yet where we will tack at the Cape Finsterre TSS. We have been sailing with Apiviafor some time now. But all is well and it will be better when I have resolved connection problems.
