We’ve also had no injuries despite several impressive impacts and other exciting moments. Now, we just have to take advantage of this wonderful boat.”

\"kingfisher-dans-la-brise\"As Geronimo rounds Cape Horn, Kingfisher 2 and her crew of 13 sail between Marion and the Kerguelen islands. Ellen Mac Arthur<\/strong> <\/em>: “we’re pleased that overall Geronimo is only a day and a half ahead of Orange… Many people said the record could be broken by days and days, and it’s kind of reassuring to see that even Olivier is not ahead of Orange by miles and miles.”<\/em><\/p>\n
