Albatros

Loïck Peyron: “We’re not cruising at all anymore. For almost 24 hours now, we’ve been in the Roaring Forties that are roaring away quite fiercely. We have 30-35 knots of wind, and we’re going at 30-35 knots, in water at 8° and falling. We were welcomed by a few albatrosses yesterday. We’re in the Great South. This is where it’s at and we’ve taken out all our polar jackets. It means a lot to us to have a lead on Franck’s record, but it isn’t enough to keep us calm. It’ll never be enough until the end because anything could happen to us. But everything’s fine for now.”
