Very varied weather situations
Justine’s ability to stay at the front nevertheless allowed her to widen the gap with her two pursuers. Because now, Clarisse Crémer (L’Occitane en Provence, 12th) and Samantha Davies (Initiatives Cœur, 13th) are more than 800 miles behind the Swiss. Currently, the duo is progressing upwind, stuck between a ridge and a low pressure system. This large windless zone will soon concern Damien Seguin (APICIL Group, 16th) and already occupies Romain Attanasio (Fortinet-BestWestern, 15th). “I was arrested all night,” admits the latter.
A little further, the group led by Isabelle Joschke (MACSF, 17th), Alan Roura (Hublot, 18th), Giancarlo Pedote (Prysmian, 19th) and Jean Le Cam (Everything begins in Finistère – Armor-lux, 20th) is progressing in a reaching flow which should take them calmly to New Zealand. They could cross the latitude of Tasmania this Friday which will mark their arrival in the Indian Ocean. Furthermore, conditions are still very strong for Antoine Cornic (Human Immobilier, 32nd) and Jingkun Xu (Singchain Team Haikou, 33rd) located further south. It should also intensify for the Chinese skipper with a frontal passage planned for Saturday and gusts forecast up to 60 knots.
