Day 100
It has been 100 days since Skipper Wilson left Les Sables d’Olonne, France, to sail around the world in the Vendée Globe. Yesterday, right around noon, he crossed the Equator to return to the Northern Hemisphere. He’s now working his way back through the Doldrums.
Since November 9, Skipper Wilson has sailed approximately 21,000 nautical miles. He has a little less than 3,000 more to go. You can read his latest log here or listen to his most recent podcast here.
Thirty sailors set sail from France 100 days ago. As of today, six have completed the race and five more are headed north hoping to finish in the next few weeks.
Good luck, Skipper Wilson! We know you can do it!
