Sliding Into Seventh - Day 41 - Vendée Globe

It's the longest day of daylight for Boris in the Southern Hemisphere, and these extra rays of light seem to be powering up his sails! The day started on a bit of a scary note, with the boat involuntarily doing a pirouette that left Boris briefly out of control. But now, things are looking up - Boris is climbing the ranks and has finally caught up to Yannick Bestaven, the winner of the previous Vendée Globe. We're incredibly lucky to have video from both sides of this overtake, capturing the dynamics of Ocean racing. Yannick adjusts his course to dead downwind to slow down, as Boris was on starboard. (For those unfamiliar: when sailboats approach on different tacks, the boat on starboard is the stand-on vessel with the right of way.) This moment beautifully showcases the respect and camaraderie among these fierce competitors. Out on the vast ocean, they're also each other's closest fans and allies. Now, it's time for a celebratory dance... as long as the boat doesn't decide to do another pirouette!
