Conrad Colman pushed off the dock on Sunday at the start of the Vendee Globe Race. His latest update from onboard;
Welcome on board Foresight Natural Energy. Just writing day 3 gave me a shock because the time has flown by in a flurry of physical sail changes, whirling wind changes and hastily stolen cat naps. Lines of squalls, seemingly charged with the energy of the crowds, flung icy hail, rain and gusts of 40 knots at us the first night. I spent all night changing between the small and medium jibs in order to ease the intense pressure and then hurry to power the boat up again after the cloud passed through, taking the wind with it.
Conrad's campaign is notable for being 'Zero Emissions'. Messages of support welcome to conradcolman.com, https://twitter.com/conradcolman
