My friend who sometimes sails with Pip Hare said this to me about JLC this afternoon.
“He really is amazing; has sailed a superb race so far and now pulled off this. Multiple tacks in those boats in those conditions is desperately difficult, I have sailed enough on Medallia to wonder how he did it at all, he’s a phenomenon”.
It seems that the plan is for Jean le Cam to rendez-vous with the French Navy frigate Le Nivose to the North of the Kerguelen Islands on December 7th to transfer Kevin Escoffier into the hands of the French Navy.
The way the foiling boats seem to be breaking up, how many he will have on board by then is anybody’s guess....
