“I had a good night last night, with a just a few light patches, but we’re now back into stronger winds and going quite fast. I’m pretty pleased with my position this morning, happy to be keeping pace with Virbac Paprec and keeping some separation between Mike and Jean Le Cam over to the East.
It seems that Maitre CoQ and I are getting very cosy on this race and I think I could be seeing a lot more of him over the next 23,000 miles! I managed to get quite a lot of sleep last night, probably about four hours broken up across the evening which has left me feeling much better this morning, more refreshed than I have since leaving Les Sables on Saturday – although am still pretty snotty! The conditions are quite squally at the moment, with gusts up to about 27 knots but the temperatures are definitely improving and it should start to get warmer quiet quickly now as we make our way further south. I’ll have to cook up the rest of my bacon before it gets too hot!” - Thursday 15th November
