This time, our Captain Brieuc Maisonneuve brings us the latest update. Currently in Key West and preparing to set sail for Mexico, he's still keeping an eye on his virtual Route du Rhum… even if things haven't quite gone according to plan! "Unfortunately, I haven't done very well in this first part of the race. I missed a few weather transitions, gybed a little too late, then headed a bit too far south into the light winds… In short, plenty of good excuses for not being very high up the leaderboard!" But our Captain hasn't thrown in the towel just yet: "We'll make a comeback. The race isn't over!" Above all, Brieuc is closely following the performances of our readers competing in the Multihulls World group on Virtual Regatta. Some are doing considerably better than he is!
"I've noticed that several competitors in the Multihulls World group are really well placed. I think one of them is even in 25th position! So congratulations, and keep it up!"
Nothing has been decided yet: the final few dozen nautical miles promise plenty of pitfalls, tactical decisions and, hopefully, some impressive climbs up the rankings. "The finish is going to be exciting. There are still plenty of obstacles ahead. See you soon!" And we'll be back very soon with more news from our Route du Rhum adventure, on Virtual Regatta and the Multihulls World website!
