Bernard Stamm, Alex Thomson and Mike Golding use MaxSea

Bernard Stamm is still in the lead in the Velux 5 Oceans, about 700 milles ahead his pursuers.
CHEMINEES POUJOULAT is heading towards the Kerguelen Islands and is waiting to find the fair wind his competitors are benefiting, in order to let his guns to the talking.
While crossing the Cape of Good Hope, Bernard said "cruse on the day when I left Bilbao and forgot my fleecy jackets because it's 4 degrees inside and without fleecy jackets, it is rough."

Bernard Stamm (CHEMINEES POUJOULAT) is observing with attention and some worry the fight between Alex Thomson (HUGO BOSS) and Mike Golding (ECOVER).
Mike Golding drives ECOVER to the wall, he touched the wind first and has now taken the lead from HUGO BOSS.

50 small milles north, at almost the same longitude, Alex Thomson sails at the same speed, in a 45 knot wind "weather predictions announce than we will go through the Kerguelen at high speed. After, we won't be far from Fremantle. We might reach Australia within 2 small weeks... In any case, I will do my best to get there ASAP!"
