Vendée Globe Thursday 6th February Update - Kojiro's big decision

Eleven skippers are still racing in the Vendée Globe so there is still news to report on the race!
We give you an update on Arnaud Boissières from La Mie Câline after he was dismasted, showing his progress towards the Caribbean, then Kojiro Shiraishi tells us why he made a big routing decision as he heads east towards Les Sables d'Olonne.
We then look at the tracker, then conclude with an update from Oliver Heer.
We'll continue bringing you news from the race, but it may be less frequent as we get fewer updates from the sailors.

Kojiro Shiraishi is a marvelous individual!

Thanks for the update on Arnaud Boissieres. Looks like Denis Van Weynbergh has been stuck in a wind hole in the South Atlantic for days!!

No pressure, whatever you upload will be very much appreciated, dear Mark. Thank you and warm regards.

Absolutely enough happening for daily reports. Don’t abandon us or the skippers still out there. Thanks.

Kojuri: pragmatic and realistic! More haste less speed 😅😅

[@doelcam1302]

do any of you guys out there remember a french sailor giving a short insight into his race probably ten days ago ???? vague , i know!!! just this guy had a motto written on the wall on the inside of his living space . an intriguing little aphorism , meaning - I THINK!!! - life is difficult 😂😂😂😂 . i didn’t write it down at the time and i’ve forgotten the french original but it tickled me so i’d love to meet it again . TIA l gooru 🎉

Has Arnaud got sufficient food?

[@Sail-World]

It's not much different than if he'd been heading for Les Sables d'Olonne, so I assume so
