The 11 two-person teams passed the Azores during the last night, and south of the archipelago, the first boats finally reach the trade winds, progressing at speeds above 10 kn in the direction of Mexico. Jörg Riechers GER/Marc Lepesqueuy FRA ('mare.de') still were on position one yesterday evening, but Yannick Bestaven/Eric Drouglazet FRA ('Aquarelle.com') are only 4,4 miles behind. Another lull zone is ahead of the widely spread fleet and position changes will be very likely. The race-viewer, the report of the day (in French) and the videos.
