"This transatlantic race was strange but I really enjoyed it. I've learnt a lot and I'm really happy. I had a lot of fun. I didn't take part in the two transatlantic races last year, so I'm still discovering my boat. I was there for this New York Vendée - Les Sables d'Olonne to get the ball rolling a bit. Every time I set off on a race, I try to do my best. This time, we all suffered a bit. We were in positions where we didn't have many solutions. Each time, we took the best solution available to us. The big choice was not to go around the anticyclone and stay in contact with the others. We were in a kingdom of uncertainties. We couldn't rely on our weather charts, they were all wrong. We had to adapt. The funniest thing was on the first evening, when we went to the start line. The files showed a northerly wind when it was actually a southerly wind. That set the tone because after that, everything went a bit like that."
