Incredible atmosphere in the channel in Les Sables d'Olonne for @BDutreux's return! 😍🔥

⛵️ Like Benjamin Dutreux just before her, Clarisse Cremer the skipper of L'Occitane en Provence will not be able to enter the channel in Les Sables d'Olonne and take her place at the pontoons in Port Olona following her crossing of the line due to the weather conditions. The safety of Cremer and her boat is the priority of the L'Occitane Sailing Team and the organisation of the race and so it has been decided she will head for the port of La Rochelle, where the better sea conditions will allow them to take shelter. Depending on the tide she will be able to access the port there until 03:30hrs UTC or tomorrow, Monday, January 27 from 13:30hrs UTC.

🚫 Due to these conditions, the finish village in Les Sables d'Olonne will remain closed tomorrow, Monday January 27.

One final big storm for next group of Vendée Globe finishers. Now expected to finish into the Les Sables d’Olonne late on Wednesday British skipper Sam Goodchild is on course for fourth place but needs to hold out through one final storm, whilst at the same time contain his nearest rivals, including Jérémie Beyou who he has been close with since the South Atlantic. A week ago when they crossed the Equator together the pair were only 3 minutes 39 seconds apart and this afternoon they are one mile apart.
