Ocean Records - Route du Thé - Hongkong HKG-London GBR - Day 18

In the past 24 hours, 'IDEC' covered 393 miles, and the advantage on the record was 690nm. ----- For Francis Joyon FRA and his team, the most complicated part of his record journey began yesterday: Under the influence of the high of St.Helena, the prevailing winds over the South Atlantic will be very light in the coming days. As can be judged from the race tracker, the trimaran 'IDEC' will pass the remote Atlantic island almost in sight today. ----- The race tracker and the news.
