Miranda writes this morning.....Pretty glamourous conditions for the last 24 hours, sailing east towards Cape Horn, stable wind direction and not too much sea. I am really anxious that something will go amiss, with just 367 miles of Pacific Ocean in front of Campagne de France's bow. Countless sailors have had their dreams dashed in this ocean, including ours on our Jules Verne record attempt on Royal SunAlliance in 1998. Yesterday, Sam Davies wrote a beautiful hommage to our mast, which is resting in peace in the depths about as far from land as it is possible to get, and to the extraordinary adventure led by Tracy Edwards. It had a major influence on my subsequent choice of career. 

A big thank you to Sharon Ferris (former fellow team mate on Royal SunAlliance) for the running commentary all night (via whatsapp) on the Prada Cup!
