After the analysis of files Monday morning, Sodebo routers observe a net deterioration in the weather situation which allows more to rally Ecuador in seven days. Shifting to the South, the anticyclone of the Azores is installed on the Canary, barring the road of the maxi-trimaran and pounding the Tradewind. From Brest where he stood ready to start today's round the world singlehanded record, Thomas Coville must resign. The skipper who has until January 15 to soar, remains on stand-by waiting for a good next niche. Technical team has completed all repairs due to the occurred damage Wednesday last off the coast of Cape Finisterre. Thomas was then sailing at high speed with the bows pointing South. Back at the pontoon of the Brest Castle Marina, Thomas recalls the complexity of these departures in records, even though it is, this morning, "also looking forward as a youngster."
"These starting situations are among the most difficult to manage in the records, things" said the skipper who since 2005 has tackled successfully in the great time of reference to sailing. "The window that was open is closed. The team worked 24 hours a day so that the boat is ready to go again. But this morning, by analyzing the 6/7 day forecasts, it means our horizon up to the equator, there is that the anticyclone of the Azores settled on the Canary Islands and we mouth the road. From Madeira, there is more wind, is no longer an acceptable window. We are on November 18, therefore always early in the season but I feel also impatient that a youngster who has very want to leave!"
