A good day of skiing. Even if there is the ridge which lay on us a little and which slowed us down. But otherwise, the sailing conditions are rather pleasant with great sunshine and almost flat seas. We move forward at 24 knots without effort. Opposite there is a small depression which is rising and which will generate enough favorable wind to take us down to the south of South Africa. This is going to be a pretty fast zone. »
