Hva denne videoen dekker
Damien Guillou alters his course to the north-northeast to evade a severe depression identified by Golden Globe Race officials. After receiving a weather alert regarding winds exceeding 35 knots, he abandoned his eastward progress to reach a target latitude of 38°S by Sunday morning. He currently sails under spinnaker in moderate conditions, though he acknowledges this detour significantly increases his distance to the finish line and ruins his recent average speeds. Guillou relies exclusively on text-based weather updates received via Iridium satellite phone from race management to navigate the system. To prepare for the incoming gale, he is securing deck gear and organizing the interior to prevent loose items from shifting. He maintains a sleep schedule aligned with daylight hours, typically retiring early in the evening to manage fatigue. The current cabin temperature fluctuates between 11°C and 14°C. Prioritizing vessel safety and storm avoidance over race positioning remains his primary tactical objective.
