Day 4 - BT under pressure… and looking forward to a fight!
Enjoying a little respite today, Sébastien and Jean-François are
looking forward to the return of fast downwind "drag race"
conditions, now just 24 hours away. Under a lot of pressure from
Safran - who overtook them early this afternoon - the BT boys
welcome the prospect of a good fight, but before that another
front is to be dealt with tonight.
"Yesterday Jeff was telling
me that it was his first real rough weather experience",
explained Sébastien this morning during a video conference from
the cockpit, "and we were both marveling at the beauty of the
elements in wrath. At times we had more than 50 knots and 6.5
metres swell, which is really something. Now, it's almost
comfortable as the wind has dropped and the waves are much
smaller. The boat is perfectly fine, we didn't break anything
and we both feel very well, having been able to get some rest
and with so little manoeuvering the tiredness was more mental
than anything.
