Ocean Records - Port Louis MAU - Ho Chi Minh VIE - Day 7

After a complete 7 hour standstill on the Indian Ocean - a first for Francis Joyon FRA - the trimaran 'IDEC' regained speed and racing at 30kn again, she will pass the Sumatra-Java strait early tomorrow. Entering the Chinese Sea then, new challenges will await with many small islands and a dense traffic, not only cargo vessels, but including numerous tiny fisherman boats as well, a constant threat for collisions. ----- The race tracker and t hedaily news.
