… except waiting for Jan to be rescued. I really believe she means it.
At 01:41:01 this morning in a freezing cold, brisk breeze, Sam crossed the finishing line of the Vendée Globe. Third to finish, she now has to wait to see if Marc Guillemot can finish inside the time allotted to him for his part in the rescue of Jan Eliés. Sailing to windward with no keel, Marco still has a real chance of doing so.
Even though it was the middle of a chilly night, Sam was not short of a welcoming party – and six hours later, with the tide now allowing her to enter harbour, Les Sables d’Olonne staged yet another Pied Piper scene as Roxy nudged her way gently through the crowds of boats (including Jan Eliés in an RIB) back to her berth.
