My weekly JOY

Yes, more Vendee Globe.

The weekly recaps have been so incredible. Friday is always something to look forward to, but during this Vendee Globe, they bring JOY to my heart and soul.

This past week, 14 of the remaining (not retired) 27 sailors, rounded Cape Horn.

I will not rest completely easy until all are around.

The recap, above, features a meteorologist who explains some of what makes Cape Horn often a “mariner’s nightmare”.

Cape Horn is the 3rd and final Cape in the Vendee Globe.

Too late to be featured in the recap, but Pip Hare, who I mentioned in my January 3: Perspective changed post, had yet another glitch: a crack in her port rudder stock. She replaced the rudder … in the southern ocean and there is no follower of the Vendee Globe who is not incredibly impressed, proud and just “over the top” happy that Pip accomplished this … as well as she set things up to film it to share!!!

This weeks recap and Pip Hare’s recovery from a devastating breakage … Holy Cow!
