AI Translation for Marie's speech in the video: So, the Guardi passage is almost our only source of weather updates. It's done by amateur radio operators who volunteer to provide weather updates to those crossing the Pacific. It happens that today we have a serious weather alert for the passage, with winds between 40 and 60 knots.
Potentially 10 meters high waves announced.
The weather is worsening, but we also receive weather updates through maps. We try to get the maps, but they're quite rudimentary. The sea is starting to get rough, and the swell is deepening. At some point, the wind stabilized between 40 knots, 45 knots, to 50 knots, then from 50 to 60 knots before dropping back to 50. It kept rising and falling, and the waves, well, there were waves and swells, some breaking waves, and the boat started to surf. We averaged about 12 knots throughout this low pressure area, which amounts to approximately 270 nautical miles per day. We had beautiful days of consistent surfing between 20 and 23 knots. There was even a surf at 28.3 knots, which I think scared us all. We were all very frightened, but the boat on fire completely. Indeed, the sea was very rough, so the challenge was to keep the boat aligned and manage the waves coming from port or starboard, which could easily catch the stern of the boat and make us broach. In such conditions, it's crucial to keep sail up; speed is safety, so you must keep the sail up and move the boat as fast as possible to control and not be overwhelmed by the swell. Instead, know where to position yourself, maintain speed in the trough of a wave, and be ready to tackle the next wave with good speed. Steering was very challenging; those who are cold once they're at the helm usually warm up in a few seconds because of this, plus the stress of being at the helm. And yeah, there are moments when you feel quite small, especially at the top of a wave, 7 to 10 meters high, looking at the vast ocean. It's really when you're at the top of the wave that you realize the immensity of the sea. And then, we're at the Horn, not just anywhere in the world. We know we're approaching Cape Horn, and once we leave this low pressure area on February 6th at 6 AM, we pass Cape Horn. The crew passing Cape Horn isn't that difficult because when you arrive, the sea is calm, and there's no wind. The challenge is before reaching Cape Horn; passing it is the reward. We passed Cape Horn under excellent conditions with an incredible sunrise. It was the first sunrise in Patagonia, just sublime. And well, the Transled team was still there, passing Cape Horn a few hours after us. From Cape Horn, we started our ascent of the Atlantic towards Punta del Este, passing a place called the Strait of the Sea, west of the Falkland Islands, also known as the Malvinas. Our friends from Translated9 also followed us closely in the Strait of the Sea, overtaken by Char Cordrelier and Gitana, who are also completing their circumnavigation. So, we won our bet, arriving before the Ultimes. At Cape Horn, it was nice; we got to talk a bit with Charles and will meet up in Lorient. It wouldn't be us without the craziness of our crew. We must talk about Hugo's birthday, where the animation team got involved and managed to have a water balloon fight while outside there.

In 1985 TransPac I sailed on Montgomery Street (modified CAL 40 with fin keel, spade rudder and penalty rig - much taller than the normal rig; we took first overall honors). We took a midnight knockdown about 1000 miles NW of Hawaii. When we popped the boat back up we had 50 knots of wind changing with major shifts (30+ degrees) in a big ass squall. We eased our spinnaker pole forward to reduce direct exposed sail area, and we adjusted our spinnaker pole so the luff was straight from the clew until the curve at the top. We choked down our foreguy and topping lift on the pole so it would not move (I'm was surprised we did not blow it up). The idea was to make sure that the spinnaker could not move and create a disastrous situation. We steered a slight broad reach reach angle because to try DDW would have been nuts in the extreme conditions. We had taken on some water during the knockdown so some of our electronics were not working but we had an analog knotmeter and wind indicator. Our knotmeter was pegged at 24 for 45 minutes and we figured we hit some 28's. We were not surfing, we were planing. One of the crew was shining a flashlight on the wind indicator reciting " you're fine you're fine" until the wind shifted and he would scream "by the lee by the lee!!!" so we could make the quick adjustment and head up a bit to be safe. A round down in those conditions would have been disaster. It was absolutely the craziest ride I've ever been on. I also happened to be the one on the helm (tiller, not wheel). After 45 minutes of white knuckle driving I was spent and handed the helm over to my buddy and sailing partner. All I can say is that when you are going 24 knots plus on a plane on a big boat, you get the feeling you are on a very high speed train on rails. It feels great but your biggest concern is making the slightest mistake that would take you off the rails. That would not be good at high speed! There's a lot more to this story, but I kept it short. My dream would be to drive a boat like Comanche on a ripping reach; what a gas that would be!

Merci pour ces formidables images ! le Cap Horn , au chaud dans mon fauteuil !....

[@cliffbenford]

wow, just wow!

[@howardcobb4354]

Fabulous quality video of a very scarey ride. It really gave me a sense of the dynamics involved in conditions like that. ❤

[@upak88]

Super intéressant d'entendre Marie parler de la peur et de la concentration sur le contrôle de la vitesse du bateau dans les vagues énormes. J'ai adoré regarder ceux qui étaient à la barre diriger si activement dans ces conditions avec le vent, la grosse foule et les vagues géantes - je me souvenais physiquement d'avoir dû faire la même chose, je pouvais imaginer être là. L'imagerie était merveilleuse et impressionnante - de l'action à l'extérieur et même de la fête d'anniversaire à l'intérieur 🎈🎉 ❤

[@jacqueslecann2943]

Superbe vidéo ! Vous nous faites vivre des moments intenses! Vous faites vos montages vidéo à bord? Bravo!

[@DenisQUAYZIN]

C est plutôt balaise de belles images ❤❤❤

[@nyayas]

Je me sens heureux en tant qu'Argentin et fan de la saga des Pen Duick, d'entendre la fille du capitaine Tabarly dire 'Malvinas' et non 'Falklands'. Merci, Marie.

[@cyrillesmolis1476]

C est plus beau que sur foil;) 12knt de moyenne c est chaud!

[@johnmajewski1065]

Impressive boat handling in big seas and high winds. Congratulations on surviving without broaching. SV Skoiern IV

[@doudoupelren376]

Un (très !) bon vieux monocoque surfant sur et dans les (grosses !) vagues, mené par un nombreux équipage dont le barreur doit en permanence "sentir" le bateau pour se prémunir d'un départ au lof qui serait suicidaire, ça a quand même plus de gueule, de beauté, de force et de vie que nos bolides actuels, aussi beaux et puissants soient-ils quand ils surfent avec l'aide des innombrables moyens techniques actuels !

[@ulrike-klaus453]

Toller Film. Als Normalsegler hofft man allerdings, mit solchen Wellen nicht kämpfen zu müssen.

[@DenisQUAYZIN]

Se qui permet de supprimer le gaz et d aller plu loin à voir

[@CowboyStag]

I think I saw Magellan with a balloon

[@patlelion]

50knots storm and making a birthday party 🥳! Only the French 🇫🇷
