Sorry... No photos of the departure of Vendée Globe. I went to the beach to see the exit of boats from the harbor. But, it was difficult to photograph them correctly. There were too many waves!!! Besides, the weather was a little bit foggy, thus photos are not interesting... Then, here is maybe an image which could represent well the race...

This (my :-)) region is called "Côte de Lumière" (Coast of light), and here you understand why...

I'm less than 90 miles NW of the Falklands now so I'm thinking about all my peeps that were or are in the British military. Y'all are the best of friends & the worst of enemies.
That's the second day gone already. Ain't a lot of daylight this time of year. I made a short run NW from the Spanish coast to stay with the wind, which is why the sunset is where it is lol. Now I've turned for the corner of Spain. I should be round that tonight. There's about 18kt of wind now so the sea's a little bumpy & the boat's feeling the motion.
This race is being done in Sailaway 3. It's still a little buggy in places, but damn it looks good.
On Sunday, November 9th, at 1:02 pm, the departure of the Vendée Globe [webcam] will be given to the wide. It is a solo world tour and without stopover. This race leaves Les Sables d'Olonne and returns to Les Sables d'Olonne...

When I took this photo in May 2022, the new PRB racing sailboat had just been launched a few days before. This is an IMOCA sailboat, the kind that go round the world singlehanded in the race named “Vendée Globe”. The bow shapes (“scow”) are positively ugly but apparently very efficient in terms of speed.

Sailaway 3 is way better for sailing, but I'm gonna nail my colors to the mast here & say Second Life still has better avatars.
Alex Thomson returning home to Gosport on board his racing yacht Hugo Boss on Saturday 11 February.
A parade of sail and celebratory event was held in Alex’s hometown of Gosport this weekend to celebrate the solo skipper’s incredible race and podium finish in the prestigious Vendee Globe, a solo, non-stop, race around the world.
The Parade of Sail commenced in the Solent close to Spitbank Fort at 10:15. Alex then sailed into Portsmouth Harbour before berthing Hugo Boss at the Gosport Ferry terminal.
Thomson successfully claimed a second place in the Vendée Globe completing the race after 74 days, 19 hours and 35 minutes at sea. Without mechanical defects he would have finished a week ahead of his nearest challenger!
That's us 16 days into the race now. Still chasing that storm SE. It's now interacting with a bigger storm to the south of it & another weather system off the Cape of Good Hope, so for the next couple days there's gonna be bars of windier & calmer weather sweeping over the front half of the fleet. That's gonna mean some frustrating moments when the wind drops, but I'm hoping by Friday I'll have been able to make a short leg to the south & gotten myself into a bigger, more stable band of strong winds that will take me straight through the gate in the storm's wake.
Right now it's still 17kt winds but the sea is getting up more. I pushed up to 7th place yesterday but fell back to 10th overnight. Now I'm 9th again & slowly catching back up. This is so different from racing in SL. My Snipe & Mini Transat races usually last around a half hour & there's lots of turns & sail handling. This one, I been reaching SE on port tack under full sail for 4 days now. Getting more speed is all about choosing a course to stay with the wind, & keeping the sails trimmed.
And yeah, the sky don't look too tropical, but I am technically still in the tropics. I'm at 22° 43' 9" S right now & the Tropic of Capricorn is at 23° 26' 10" S. I'll be out of the tropic zone soon but it's the southern summer so days will get longer.
I crossed the finish line at 7:24pm Eastern last night. Now my Sailaway avi is just chilling on the foredeck with a glass of wine, with Les Sables D'Olonne in the background.
This has been an amazing race. The real Vendee Globe happens every 4 years but the virtual one is annual, so in November I get to do it all again, work permitting.

I got 25kt northerly winds right now & I'm making another leg out to the west. I was using a patch of strong wind coming off NW Spain but I'm getting towards the edge of that, so my current plan is to head out into the Atlantic a bit then turn south, run down to the west of Madeira & the Canaries, get to the Cape Verde islands then try to find a way through the calm patches between Africa & South America if they're still there. I mean they might not be lol. The Cape Verdes are 1,500 miles away so it's gonna be a few days yet.
I'm kinda getting used to this boat now. I had to take in some sails last night cause the wind was up to 30kt & I kept getting knocked down, but now she's scooting along pretty well. With the foil down there ain't much of her in the water. She's basically just riding the foil, dragging her ass along the surface. IMOCA 60s are super fast. Real ones can do up to 40kt.
I made it through the first gate south of the Cape of Good Hope earlier today. I'm still in the remains of the weather system that blew me through it & right now I'm averaging 23kt or so, sometimes hitting 30 in stronger gusts. I dropped down the leaderboard to 14th at one point but today I managed to get back up to 10th.
I said I'm in the remains of the weather system. It was moving east across the South Atlantic & started losing strength off the South African coast, probably cause it ran over the cold Benguela Current. Over the next couple days it's gonna move over the Aghulas Current, which is warm water, & it should build up strength again. That means I should have plenty wind the rest of the week. Then there's a bigger storm following on behind it so it could get kinda sporty lol.
The next gate is a wide one. It's a line about 1750 miles long & we can cross it anywhere. It runs from NE Madagascar south to the Crozet Islands. You ever heard of the Crozet Islands? Nope, me either. I looked them up & they're French.
It's a misty afternoon at the top end of the Le Maire Strait. Those dark streaks peeping above the mist just in front of my headsails are the hills on the eastern tip of the Tierra del Fuego. I'm in the Atlantic now, about 200 miles SW of the Falkland Islands & heading north at 11kt in a moderate easterly breeze.
I've moved up to 19th place & should be 18th inside a couple hours. I'm still nearly 7000 miles from the finish line, so there's plenty time to pass a few more on the way home.
I crossed the Atlantic last week. Friday night I was about 50 miles off Recife in Brazil & made my turn for South Africa. Now I'm heading SE, trying to stay in the tail of a storm that should drag me to the Cape of Good Hope. Right now there's a 17kt northerly blowing and I'm making about 25kt. It's probably gonna get windier over the next couple days as I slowly catch up with the storm. There's 48 boats still in the race & I'm 8th right now, but I should move up to 7th inside an hour or so.
These IMOCA 60s are maybe the most sophisticated sailboats in the world. I mean it's a 60' boat that can carry six sails, & it's built for single handed races. Takes some automation to make that possible. The boats also have autopilots so nothing horrible happens while the skipper's asleep.
The Kooka I'm using in this simulation is based on one of the latest IMOCAs. It has a covered cockpit to keep the worst of the weather off you (it ain't a real waterproof space, you need to go in the cabin for that) & the gear is set up so you can do all the sail handling from inside the cockpit. You only need to go out on deck if something goes wrong. IMOCAs go to scary places - this race goes round Cape Horn - so being able to work the boat from under cover is a big deal for safety. If you're out on deck doing 30kt & a big rogue wave knocks you overboard, a safety line & PFD ain't gonna help you much.
