Between emotions, rest and relaxation
After the wild night from Friday to Saturday, where the first 13 finished in just under 3 hours (2h52), the finish lines were more spaced out. The next three finishes took place in the morning. There were Anaëlle Pattusch and Hugo Cardon (Humains en action, 14th) at 8 a.m. (local time), Maggie Adamson and Canalach Finlayson (Solan Ocean Racing, 15th), then Pier-Paolo Dean and Tiphaine Rideau (Banques Alimentaires, 16th) at 11:28 a.m.
Several skippers were present to celebrate these arrivals in style: the three crews jumped into the water from the docks of Gustavia. A breath of fresh air before a program alternating between rest and relaxation.
At the end of a long day, some of the sailors were still there to welcome the last of the race, Ellie Driver and Oliver Hill (Women's Engineering Society), who completed the race at 11:43 p.m. Upon their arrival on the pontoon, the atmosphere was at its peak, and everyone jumped into the water after letting off smoke bombs and drinking a few sips of champagne. It was a short and festive night for the skippers, who will now take advantage of these moments to discover the island. Everyone will gather at the end of the day at the Transat Paprec village for the traditional prize-giving ceremony.
