Shorts skab
A few days out from the Vendée Globe finish in les Sables d'Olonne Jérémie Beyou aboard Charal was being pounded by a big storm. Beyou is one of the offshore rockstars and was in among the favourites so deep offshore miles and bad weather are no stranger to him. But this short clip makes it clear just how stressful sailing an IMOCA is, even for the most experienced in the world. You can see the full Week 11 review - https://youtu.be/FM4mOW3Q3KM
We had an awesome 4 days out at Santa Cruz Island. Pelican Bay was beautiful, we got to see some family, some friends, and made some new friends along the way. This place has always been popular (for good reason), but people were telling us that back in the 70s, there would regularly be a huge number of boats anchored here, like 30 or so. I can imagine that many would fit, but wow... they must have been such friendly people to have tolerated that many people!
