Since leaving Fremantle on monday 13 december, Merci has been zig zagging West in very light and fluky conditions. For the Destremau father and daughter duo, it has been a week of settling into their new life at sea. They are getting used to freeze dried food, no facilities or comforts, and for Jade, overcoming seasickness.
» Its been a steep learning curve but an eye opening week. I am excited for the future of this trip. At times I felt lonely and homesick and especially missed my twin brother » said Jade.
According to the weather forecast, it should take Merci another two weeks to reach Cape of Good Hope. « The weather pattern is very awkward with the wind changing several times a day. We re taking this light weather opportunity to carry out some maintenance. Jade has been learning heaps and it is such a joy to have her onboard Merci » concluded her father Sébastien Destremau.
