We had a break in the weather, so we decided to head off to Long Island. Although we had originally planned to head to the Ragged Islands, it's perhaps too early in the winter season to do so. The periodicity of the weather events down here is every week or so and the wind coming next Monday would have been a challenge in the Ragged Islands. There's so few anchorages with protection from winds out of the West. Winds were light and variable. We were mostly on a broad reach or run all day. We used every sail. Once we made the turn to starboard back to the Bahamas Bank, we dropped the main, the gennaker and got out the Oxley Levante Parasail. Love that sail. It's so fun to fly. So, we'll stay here for a bit and head back to George Town, Bahamas and wait out the next blow. Hopefully we can make it over to Dean's Blue Hole, but we'll have to rent a car for the day.

🇫🇷 Il a bien eu des cadeaux de ses proches pour Noël, pas de soucis là dessus, mais c'est la nature qui n'est pas forcément généreuse pour Antoine Cornic en ce 25 décembre... Le skipper se retrouve dans la pétole, avec très peu de vent, peu avant l'entrer dans l'océan Pacifique. 🇬🇧 He did receive Christmas gifts from his loved ones, no worries there, but it's nature that's not being particularly generous to Antoine Cornic on this December 25th... The skipper finds himself in a windless zone, with very little wind, just before entering the Pacific Ocean. ------------------------ ➡️ SUIVEZ-NOUS ! // FOLLOW US ! 🔗 Website : www.vendeeglobe.org 📸 Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/vendeeglobe/ 🐦 Twitter FR : https://twitter.com/VendeeGlobe | Twitter ENG : https://twitter.com/VendeeGlobeENG 🕺 TikTok : https://www.tiktok.com/@vendee_globe 💻 Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/VendeeGlobe 💼 LinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/company/vendée-globe/
