It's been over a week Jean-Pierre Dick hasn't sent any images. Perhaps a sign times had been hard.

Here's a nice squall from the 40s, dark sky right behind, and a growing wind that can become dangerous with the amount of sail I have out, so I need to be particularly careful.
Faces are beginning to wear down, men and machines suffer. The South Seas are showing their marks.

Hard, hard, hard, hard, it's hard to climb up the mast, it's not my thing. After being up on the mast... Wow, my groin's really aching! Bad blood circulation...two hours up there is a long time. It's repaired now, I'm off to sleep. Bye!
For the time being, we only get a touch of their adventures but we feel the skippers are pulling hard on the rope.. A quieter sea is as much rest as needed to try & tell us what they went through.
