Grands Records - More wind needed
08 March 21:30

In his radio bulletin of this afternoon, Olivier de Kersauson warned us of calmer conditions just ahead of Geronimo and these seem now to have appeared with the trimaran’s spot surface speed falling to 17.5 knots at 19:14 GMT this evening, compared with 24 knots a few hours previously.

A position transmitted at that time located the Cap Gemini and Schneider Electric trimaran at 26°14S, 33°15W.

She continues to head due South, braving the risk of going too far south relative to her ideal route due to the exceptional nature of the high pressure system normally centred over St. Helena, but now located off Namibia.
