and 2 seconds (French time)!
He has accomplished his circumnavigation in 111 days, 19
hours, 48 minutes and 2 seconds.
He sailed into Les Sables d’Olonne under just storm staysail
downwind in huge seas and squally but sunny weather,
shouting that he had had 70 knots of wind just offshore.
He was too late to be able to bring his boat into the channel,
and so he will be entering the port at 1700hrs local time -
