Wednesday 14.6.2001- Mini-Fastnet

At the last count on 13 June, Children Action was in 19th position, having lost 1 or 2 places. The first boats began to turn around the Fastnet during the morning but Nick and Hervé will probably reach the lighthouse sometime during the night. This is a shame for the pictures...
The sad news is that I MUST BE MAD of Brian Thompson and Tanguy de Lamotte had to retire from the race in Ireland having broken the forestay piece.
The weather conditions are a little bit similar to those encountered during the Mini-Pavois with thunderly conditions.
Anyway, this time, the skippers are not alone! And with Nick, Hervé will have a lot of fun.

How was it to be in the middle of a snow tempest?... bbrrrr.
