Charlie Dalin: “Yesterday was fantastic”.

All's well on board. We're heading northwest and still have some wind. We're still able to foil, but it's not going to last very long. We're knocking about a bit because we're facing a swell, but we've seen a beautiful sunrise off Yeu Island.

We managed to retake the lead earlier in the night on port tack. We had good speed in relation to the others and had already made up some of our deficit on the beam wind tack. Yesterday's downwind run went pretty well, but I launched my maneuver a little too late for my leeward roll. So I overshot the mark a little and lost a bit of time reconfiguring the boat for the start of the beamwind leg. It took me a while to get back up to speed.

Yesterday was fantastic, with flat seas on the starboard side. The boats were going really fast and it was great fun.
Now we're going to reach the windward mark at the end of the morning and set off again downwind VMG in around ten knots of wind to another mark before going upwind again. We'll soon be tackling the course chicane.
