As Boris Herrmann navigates Day 25 of the Vendée Globe, the challenges of the Southern Ocean are in full swing. After an early start and some repair work on the J2, Boris is now making steady progress at 20 knots on a southeast course, following a similar track to the girls. With a transition to northerly winds expected as a low-pressure system moves in, the next few days promise moderate reaching conditions. Rested and focused, Boris is ready for the journey ahead, even as the cold and damp test his endurance. Stay tuned for more updates from the Southern Ocean!
