The brisk north easterly breezes blow on. A warm dry wind, on this coast. Off the land, so limiting the scale of the swell.
Tempting the ocean racers out. From La Base, located a mile upriver of Port Louis, in the former submarine pens.
First out is Giancarlo Pedote's IMOCA, sporting a For People jib. The boat, launched in 2015, a proven Vendee Globe veteran.
Thomas Ruyant follows close behind, aboard his freshly launched For People sponsored IMOCA. Perhaps planning some boat for boat performance bench marking. For these are perfect foiling conditions.
In Port Louis, the classics pontoon is full to overflowing. By tomorrow Stargazer's berth will be required, for further anticipated arrivals, over the weekend. So we must leave.
Destination to be decided by the morning forecast.
