Incredible atmosphere in the channel in Les Sables d'Olonne for @BDutreux's return! 😍🔥

The safety of Cremer and her boat is the priority of the L'Occitane Sailing Team and the organisation of the race and so it has been decided she will head for the port of La Rochelle, where the better sea conditions will allow them to take shelter. Depending on the tide she will be able to access the port there until 03:30hrs UTC or tomorrow, Monday, January 27 from 13:30hrs UTC. 🚫 Due to these conditions, the finish village in Les Sables d'Olonne will remain closed tomorrow, Monday January 27.
