German Update in from Boris 15/11/18 13:20 CET: Boris is doing well - the weather conditions are great - it is a completely different world to the start of the race. He is still hopeful to move up and pushing forward. The others approaching lighter winds around Guadeloupe might get caught and slow a bit here. Thanks Boris See more of Boris and his adventures check out the website at: www.borisherrmannracing.com or follow us on instagram or facebook at borisherrmannracing.
