Vendée Globe leader Charlie Dalin, (MACIF Santé Prévoyance), is in the Pacific and mathematically, on his way home. He passed the midpoint of the course, after completing 50% of the theoretical distance of the 23 890 nautical miles track, just before midday today. Speaking to the Vendée Globe today he sounded relieved and pleased, more so to be in the Pacific, which seems set to be kinder to him, and those just behind him, than the Indian Ocean was.
Dalin smiled in the dark of the Australasian night, “It is all good here in the Pacific Ocean, – very happy to be in this one. It’s very, very unstable tonight, like a frozen doldrums. We’ve got hail squalls, and 40 knot wind squalls, and very unstable wind that’s shifting a lot in direction. So it’s not an easy night. Ahead if me it looks like a pretty nice stretch for a while. Medium to not very strong downwind VMG sailing, quite a lot on starboard by the looks of it. Then there’s a storm we might get just before Nemo Point, but until then, I’ve got six days of not too strong conditions, which is a good introduction to the Pacific, but maybe a stronger low pressure in a week’s time.”
