Vendée Globe 2024 – Wednesday november 20

Things are moving fast aboard Fortinet – Best Western! I’m making the most of the last trade winds before getting stuck in the Doldrums—how long I’ll be there, I still don’t know…

Quick reminder: the Doldrums are located just north of the equator in the Atlantic. Conditions there are highly unstable, with calm winds that can suddenly turn into violent squalls accompanied by torrential rain. Since the winds change so quickly in this zone, choosing the right crossing point is absolutely crucial. You need to be in the right place at the right time!
