“I saw albatrosses, I even think they are following me.
There are no words to describe an emotion like this.
These giants of the seas are so symbolic!
One flew close, I felt like I was looking him in the eye.
It's as if all the work I had done to get here is finally making sense.
Seeming to say to me:
Bravo you deserved to meet us
, these albatrosses fly, without flapping their wings, around my boat.
They say to me:
You are not at the end of your troubles, but on this tormented road, you have earned the right to have traveling companions
.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, for being here with me and making this menacing vast expanse all of a sudden friendlier.

Vendée Globe: Clarisse Crémer, new wave sailor
I say threatening, but at the time of writing, it's deep blue, the sea is flat and it's 10 knots of wind ... In short, nothing very scary.
But the imagination is sometimes stronger than anything, and I, a novice of the South Seas, have the feeling of being threatened.
On board, I try to find a little rhythm.
Everything is new on board, the weather files are not always reliable and precise, so I try to read between the lines so as not to make mistakes and not jeopardize my adventure.
I oscillate between happy moments and more timid moments.
I've been alone on my boat for three weeks, this is when I miss the people I love.
It's pretty healthy, but I try not to count the days until reunion.
In fact in the Vendée Globe, we are generally happy but suddenly images of the earth come back and it makes a lump in the stomach.
There, I imagine myself with Tanguy, my husband, having dinner a good soup and cheese in front of a small film, before going to bed at 9 pm.
Heaven… "
