Day 28 aboard Ultim 3 Sodebo. Still ahead of record.

Twenty-four hours after rounding Cape Horn for the very first time in his career, Benjamin Schwartz reflects on the challenging conditions encountered aboard Sodebo Ultim 3, since the start of their ascent of the South Atlantic. The last 24 hours have been particularly trying for the crew: unstable weather, very rough seas, and an intense pace on board. Difficult conditions, but ones that should gradually improve in the coming hours, with rising temperatures and calmer seas. Benjamin also discusses rounding the legendary Cape Horn, a powerful and "memorable" moment for the six crew members who were rounding it for the first time. An even more special moment for him, as he, along with five of his crewmates, has now become a Cape Horner.



Day 29.

Sodebo Ultim 3 is sailing on the edge of an anticyclone before beginning its ascent up its western flank to reach the trade winds... In the maneuvering area, the watch handover is taking place between Pierre Leboucher and Nicolas Troussel.
