Sunday: getting ready for a nice Sunday meal. Last night we still did 24 knots surfing under the bright moon. Team sleeping well & tuning into this special lifestyle of rollercoaster camping. Teeth brushing, squats & music playing 🙌🏽 and chat all day with Pierre. @GretaThunberg

The night was bouncy and rough, but mostly everyone got some sleep. We are trying to find an organisation of space and storage and life.Everything is slow motion: dressing, cooking, etc. All ok so far and we will get used. Pierre&Boris #aracewemustwin #unitebehindthescience

Day 69: I was just working on the bow when a small airplane with open doors arrived. “Media airplane wishing good luck to seaexplorer” came 5 times around. I was waving. Same time breeze picked up and I was completely under water. Looking forward to the pics! @VendeeGlobe 📸 DPPI
