Such fantastic updates - for someone dog tired to be so upbeat is outstanding - I hope you get a break tonight before ‘Thanos’ (should be named that anyway)
Alex is thanking us for watching his herculean efforts whilst we sit warm in front of our laptops, desktops & phones. No, no, no Alex - it's us who are really thanking you (and your competitors) for making such compelling viewing. Good luck !
I woke up in the middle of the night, checked the hub and the waves were around 5 meters at that time. I then got tucked up into my nice cozy warm bed and realised that it takes a special type of person like Alex to put themselves through this most extreme endurance challenge. I say challenge and not race because I feel that it's more a challenge to overcome exhaustion, isolation, mechanical failures and nature in an environment that humans are not built for. We all dream of adventure but dreaming is very easy in the confines of a warm comfortable home. Hopefully one day I will get the opportunity to go sailing and pop my yachting cherry lol.
I'm not a sailor at all so I know nothing, but this is just such an extreme thing to do it's engrossing! Following you on the hub, big gains today well done mate. Gotta get some rest somehow, can't be good to have your heart rate over 100 for an entire day. Fair winds! (Sailors say that right?!)
Amazing job Alex. FYI, on Sailing Anarchy your new name is Voldemort /or, He Who Shall Not Be Named, because various were getting cheesed off that all the comment were about Hugo Boss/You - love it. Also theory doing the rounds that you are actually hold up in a black shed/sound studio i.e. like a faked moon landing sound stage! Love it. God speed amigo!
A few years ago I crewed in similar conditions through Biscay on SV Fiona with captain Eric Forsyth, what an adventure that was ! Keep safe Alex, it’s a long race, try not to break the boat 🥴. Fair winds young man 👍 Chesh.
Great to see you looking so good and positive, although obviously tired. Your plan seems to be working, 2nd place and going well. Thank you for the fantastic insight and detail of the race. Stay well and travel safely.
How does someone psychologically prepare for an experience like this? High adrenaline, low sleep levels, loneliness, low visibility at night with high seas, high anxiety ...
Holy cow I’m glued to this. Way to punch through that difficult weather front and end up ahead. Bravo. Go Alex! I hope you are able to get some sleep on the downwind run.
How can *YOU* be saved and have *ETERNAL LIFE?* 1) *YOU* have *SINNED* (Romans 3:23) 2) The wages of *YOUR* sin is separation from God and death, in the *ETERNAL FLAMES OF HELL* (Romans 6:23) 3) To avoid this fate and go to heaven, *YOU* must be *PERFECT* because God is *PERFECT* (Revelation 21:27) 4) *YOU* will never be perfect because *YOU* have sinned, so *YOU* need a *SAVIOUR* since *YOU* cannot earn heaven by *YOUR* works (Ephesians 2:8-9) 5) Jesus Christ *IS* God; who came in the flesh, lived a *PERFECT* life and died as a *SUBSTITUTE* for *YOU,* so *YOU* don't have to pay the penalty for *YOUR* sins (2 Corinthians 5:21). 6) All God demands is that *YOU BELIEVE* in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ; that *HIS BLOOD* washes away *ALL* of *YOUR* sins and makes *YOU PERFECT* (John 3:16, John 6:47, Romans 10:9-10, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4). 7) Now *YOU* cannot go to hell because *YOU* have *NO* sins to pay for. Jesus *PAID* for *ALL* of *YOUR* sins. *YOU* have received the *FREE GIFT* of *ETERNAL LIFE* (1 John 5:13)
You're the best 👌👌im happy for you... Warrior 💪💪I am French and my husband is Portuguese but we support you and hope that you will win ... It is a pity that the French media hardly ever talk about you but force to you .... My husband has the ocean in the blood and he fully supports you ..
The last four years flew by, but once again we’re cheering you on from Australia , Alex! Thanks so much for these videos - they’re as inspiring as they are entertaining, and we’ll keep following you until you’re over the finish line...in first place this time. You got this mate!
Hugo Boss, Hugo Boss this is Enterprise, Enterprise over Go ahead Enterprise this is Hugo Boss Hugo Boss, Enterprise. You are aware you have left the stratosphere and in deep space 9? Enterprise, Hugo Boss. Bloody hell thought it had gone dark.
God how awesome...what a great upload. Loved the head up through the cockpit...4 miles at sea level would be out of sight, but it looks so close on the map. Alex you are in a great postion. So proud of what you are doing. Safe sailing everyone...
Great updates! Well done and super interesting to follow you! Curious to learn what software you use to produce these videos including switching between cameras so smoothly.
Yes fantastic, but I can't put a thumb up. As these boats are faster and faster and also more and more expensive, going solo is more and more absurd. The race would be of the same interest if you were 2 aboard. Hope nobody gets hurt.
Alex if you could manage to stand very still in your cockpit while doing these interviews everyone would think what a cool funky hobby room you have in your basement 😀
Maintain a listening watch by sight sound and all other avaliable means... says the rule book. Never been a fan of single handed sailing. You simply can not be efficient at sea keeping.
It looks like there should be a grab handle molded in to the top of that winch pedestal. It would make it much easier to steady oneself and hang on in rough conditions.
Alex, you have changed the sport of offshore racing forever. You deserve all good things. Keep pressing, but not too much. Keep the rig up and the keel canted. Sail Fast!
Thank you very much for all the updates in english. Very sad that only Boris and you are streaming regulary. In comparison to the last ocean race the broadcast is dissapointing.
Alex has managed to take basement quarantine to the high seas
Self-isolating at home... ;)
Such fantastic updates - for someone dog tired to be so upbeat is outstanding - I hope you get a break tonight before ‘Thanos’ (should be named that anyway)
Fair Winds, Alex!
RUclips, Alex fan...lets go!
unexpected fan!
AMAZING JOB ALEX THIS IS YOUR YEAR. GO GET IT.

You are rocking it Dude! Amazing gale force last night!

Some weird polyphasic sleep you are having there, stay strong and careful!
Take care Alex and good luck. I enjoy a lot watching your video...
Not only he’s a great skipper, he’s also a great vloger heh

You're a beast, Alex. Get some sleep.
Thank you indeed! You get some of those panic reactive glasses that go black for when you have 7m waves in daylight. 😀
Alex has managed to take basement quarantine to the high seas absolutely
You're the best 👌👌im happy for you... Warrior 💪💪I am French and my husband is Portuguese but we support you and hope that you will win ... It is a pity that the French media hardly ever talk about you but force to you .... My husband has the ocean in the blood and he fully supports you ..

Hugo Boss, Hugo Boss this is Enterprise, Enterprise over
Go ahead Enterprise this is Hugo Boss
Hugo Boss, Enterprise. You are aware you have left the stratosphere and in deep space 9?
Enterprise, Hugo Boss. Bloody hell thought it had gone dark.
God how awesome...what a great upload. Loved the head up through the cockpit...4 miles at sea level would be out of sight, but it looks so close on the map. Alex you are in a great postion. So proud of what you are doing. Safe sailing everyone...
Great update Alex. Thanks. Fair winds buddy. 👍👍👍
Hi Alex, If you can read my message, what is this moving stick behind you? X from F
That’s some serious wind, good luck Alex, hope nothing breaks!
Great updates! Well done and super interesting to follow you! Curious to learn what software you use to produce these videos including switching between cameras so smoothly.
Yes fantastic, but I can't put a thumb up. As these boats are faster and faster and also more and more expensive, going solo is more and more absurd. The race would be of the same interest if you were 2 aboard. Hope nobody gets hurt.
Alex if you could manage to stand very still in your cockpit while doing these interviews everyone would think what a cool funky hobby room you have in your basement 😀
❤️❤️❤️❤️
The record is 70+ days but Alex is only bringing 68 days worth of food. Go get it!
Looking forward to seeing you down my way again - it’s been too long (4 years), a Brit in Australia! 🙂
Congratulation.. Alex... City.. LIMA PERÚ
The wind has been insane. But well done getting into second place. Mad nav skills. Don't get foiled again!
Maintain a listening watch by sight sound and all other avaliable means... says the rule book. Never been a fan of single handed sailing. You simply can not be efficient at sea keeping.
Awsum job, great to see you out in first place now, keep up the great work and do it for the British
go Alex, knackered... but a better delivery than most news readers...
Alex Thomson : Le Tabarly britannique 👍. Sacré champion
It looks like there should be a grab handle molded in to the top of that winch pedestal. It would make it much easier to steady oneself and hang on in rough conditions.
Hugo Boss, deutsch qualitat...Go Alex!
I think Alex is in a studio somewhere. This time he figured out how to use VR to sail around the world.
Great update - love the relentless positivity even when really tired!!
Sailing in 53knot winds with 7m waves? Wow!
Well done on taking the lead. What is the moving upright arm behind him?
These updates are AWESOME!
Go Alex - you are doing an amazing job! Keep going.
he has it this year
This is your race we love you more than the stars we need you to win stay safe #SOAR
Alex, you have changed the sport of offshore racing forever. You deserve all good things. Keep pressing, but not too much. Keep the rig up and the keel canted. Sail Fast!
Alex playing whack a mole!!
strange to see someone wiggle all the time. try a gyro cam
Thank you very much for all the updates in english. Very sad that only Boris and you are streaming regulary. In comparison to the last ocean race the broadcast is dissapointing.
Go Alex safe passage your going good
Cest un studio carrément son bateau 😂😂
Good luck and stay safe.
