First quotes
Gildas Mahé: I didn’t understand what was going on . I knocked my head and felt bad. So Achille dealt with it all.
Achille: We thought it was over when Gildas was injured. He seemed unaware of what was going on. I understood that it wasn’t normal. These boats are so violent.
It all happened at the same moment. I decided to take the western option.
The Southern group came out quicker than we imagined. The weather was very different from the forecasts. So we went on that route. The boat does well except when slamming into the waves. We wanted to gain on the others, even if Ian gave us some idea of what was ahead of us. I never imagined finishing second. That proves that you have to keep going with what you believe in. Xavier took an option.
