While spending 2 months in the Southern ocean from Saldana, S. Africa to Tonga and then another month later in the east about circumnavigation rounding Cape Horn, I had only a recording barometer to let me know when the next bad weather was going to hit. I also didn't have any long range communications gear (only a VHF radio) so I was totally isolated and the seas down there are something to behold. An interesting experience, but one I would not like to repeat.
That looks like boat breaking conditions Sam ! , Just watched Jeremy footage and looks really violent slamming conditions on his boat so must be extra bad on yours Sam, Stay Safe, Get through next 24 hrs then Hammer time over Biscay to take 4th off him - he looked really tired. :) Good Luck Sam, We are all behind you back here in the UK.
Courage Sam,tu fais une course magnifique!
All that effort must seem worthwhile now you can sail fast again. Safe sailing back to Les Sables. 👏💪
That's quite some sea state... And cameras always make waves look smaller than reality. They look gigantic on the video! Stay safe!
Wow! Stay safe Sam. At that speed you’ll be home in time for tea!

Gnarly. 3-5 m waves? 1 or 2 reefs?
Go Sam go!!!
Tiens bon Sam. On t'attend à l'arrivée. You're the best 🎉
Good luck Sam.
Lost his mainsail in the storm .. So sad .. !
Terrible news about your mainsail, Sam. Really hope you'll be able to repair it.
