Groupama 3 in the middle of the Indian Ocean
Groupama 3 continues its race in the middle of Indian Ocean. The trimaran is no more than 200 miles behind the reference time of the Jules Verne Trophy.
Larchipel Kerguelen which marks approximately the mid-Indian Ocean, has already been exceeded this Saturday morning! The average speed of the last 24 hours is over 28 knots. The rain has passed and the sun is back. Foulies and drysuits are proving essential in the very steady thirty knots or so of North Westerly wind: “Things are going very well. The sun’s been out for a few hours so it’s very pleasant; more so than yesterday in any case” Jacques Caraës comments during the daily link-up with Groupama’s Jules Verne HQ.
