"That's it, I can write the word: Is!
And yes, I passed the Greenwich meridian then the longitude of the Cape of Good Hope, my first course!
What progression.
I don't get carried away but it's neat.
For a few days now, I finally felt like I had entered my race, I stopped worrying about what might be going to happen and I focused on the present moment.
For real.
Deep down, I might say it to myself, I couldn't live the Vendée Globe.
Letting go is such a great force ...
I also accept that I may not feel good all the time, I know there will be ups and downs.
But knowing that this state of wisdom exists deep inside me does me immense good, I will always hope to find it again.
Let's talk more pragmatically.
It's less than ten degrees and the least we can say is that it's curdling!
I haven't needed to turn on the heat yet, but it will definitely come.
It's not war outside, but it's not overly welcoming either.
My closest competitor is still Romain Attanasio.
Poor Alan (Roura) got trapped a little by the high pressure I was trying to escape and finds himself with Stéphane Le Diraison.
In front of me there is a big head pack, even a little more compact after the sinking and the rescue of Kevin (Escoffier).
I will remember it all my life that night when we wondered if Jean was going to be able to find Kevin on his raft.
What a relief when it ends well.
Thanks thanks thanks!

Tanguy, my husband, continues to exchange a lot with me (well it's rather the reverse in reality), but I think I can say that I am less of a burden (at least at the moment, once again, he does not must never claim victory too quickly).
Following the Vendée Globe from the ground is not necessarily a piece of fun either… ”
