What the f**k was that (or trimaran to port)!

What an amazing feat! Pascal Bidegorry and Banque Populaire V and Frank Cammas and Groupama 3 scream across the Atlantic in a race against each other and the clock. At stake is Cammas’s record from the Ambrose Light off New York to Lizard Point off England’s south coast. Cammas broke his own record, but Bidegorry set a new record by covering the 2900 mile course in a knee-trembling 3 days 15 hours 25 minutes and 48 second. Yes you read that right, an Atlantic crossing in less than 88 hours. Not only did B P 5 set a new Atlantic time, she also covered amazing 907 miles in 24-hours. Now spare a thought for the old freighter watch keeper on the bridge. His ship is steaming at 22 knots to the west when ahead, on the horizon, a sail pops up. Knowing that small sailboats usually truck along at around 5 knots, he goes to the back of the bridge to pour himself a cup of coffee. Cream and sugar and what the f**K was that? A closing speed of 62 knots is what. Watch keepers beware!
