Don’t think about it too much!

19/11/2008 - 16:42 - It’s the tenth day of racing around the world for the competitors in the Vendée Globe 2008-2009 and the sixth in pole position for Loïck Peyron. Though the equator is proving to be an attractive prospect for the skipper of Gitana Eighty, experience means that he knows better than anyone that nothing is set in stone. Aboard the monohull equipped by Baron Benjamin de Rothschild, as is the case for the competition, there is something looming on the distant horizon… the infamous Doldrums. And though the signs heralding the entry to the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone aren’t making their presence felt as yet, the upcoming complications are the subject of many a conversation already.
