At the 5h00 check-in on Wednesday, Charlie Dalin was still leading the Vendée Globe fleet. The skipper of Apivia was 82 miles ahead of his runner-up Thomas Rouillard (LinkedOut). The duo continued their descent towards the edge of the ice zones to reach a more favorable westerly wind. Follow far behind Jean Le Cam (Yes We Cam !, +362 miles), Kévin Escoffier (PRB, +433 miles) and Yannick Bestaven (Maître CoQ IV, +441 miles). His Hugo Boss repaired, Alex Thomson is now 8e 618 miles from the head. The Briton regained some speed (8.5 knots). After starting to turn around due to a keel problem on Tuesday, Sébastien Destremau (30e on Merci) has finally resumed the race in the right direction.
