Saturday Surprise: A Ghost Net And Sail Changes - Day 20 - Vendée Globe

As Boris continues to struggle with weak winds, he finds himself falling further behind the front pack of the Vendée Globe fleet, which is charging towards and past Cape Horn. But it’s not just the wind holding him back. Waking up to find a ghost net wrapped around the keel is never an ideal start to the day. However, as Boris often says, “Don’t be scared of good surprises!”
