Arrived Safely

IY Open60AAL at the bay of Les Sables d'Olonne

After only 4,5 days of sailing trying to fulfill this attempt ⛵️🌏🌊, I finally arrived at the Vendée Globe pontoon, Les Sables d’Olonne. I’m still sad to be back so early but have to admit that i’m happy that we made it back safely with the broken rudder fixation. I was welcomed with a wonderful view of the city 🌃before I entered the channel. 

My team and I will have a closer look to the whole situation and will keep you updated 🙂
