At 0700hrs this morning at the longitude of the first of the three major capes in this round the world voyage, the Cape of Good Hope at the tip of South Africa, Francis Joyon and his crew are 28 hours behind the record pace, rather than the 24 hours they had been counting on since setting out from Brest, as they knew the South Atlantic was going to be tricky. \u201c<em>It\u2019s not over yet,<\/em>\u201d declared Francis, who is too experienced in this type of sailing to be concerned. \u201c<em>If I remember correctly<\/em>,\u201d he stressed, \u201c<em>Banque Populaire V found it hard in the Pacific and the climb back up the North Atlantic was not ideal<\/em>.\u201d What he means is that there is still a long way to go and as they approach the Cape of Good Hope, Stamm, Herrmann, Gahinet, Pella and Surtel can still hope to see the weather patterns shift in their favour over the next 15,500 miles they have to sail before crossing the finishing line.
