Bernard Stamm is with us, skipper of Cheminee Poujoulat, Bernard, do you hear us ?
-Hello Hello ?
-Aaaah, do you hear us loud and clear Bernard ?
-Yeah yeah, I hear you, hello !
-So, how is this for you, cause while watching the rankings
we where speaking about it with Camille and Olivia ...
you have a good, speed, 17, 18 knots, that works rather well, tell us !
-Here it's going ...
it's going rather well, here I'm in the ... The weather isn't beautiful ...
there's 200 meters of visibility, I'm in the fog, but the conditions are good, the sea is ...
rather tidy in the good direction, and there's a good wind.
downwind, that's not bad, this is sliding so it feels good !
-Are you satisfied by the repairs you did on your hydrogenerators' fixations
is this charging correctly and enough, as you hopped ?
-Yeah, the one from port tack is charging fully, but that's not ...
the tack I'm on actually, it's starboard which is underwater, which is charging less correctly
but, at this speed it's enough to charge the batteries.
-Bernard, there is a procedure open since your stop in New Zealand, did you sent your report to the jury ?
-Yes !
-And what is the version of the facts for you ?
-Sorry ?
-What is the version of the facts that you mentioned ?
-Haa I... I ... I did a report of what happened, but I think that
I think that it' better to leave the jury do ...
do his work now !
I've acted .. at no moment I've asked for assistance
and I've acted to put the boat in safety, so now It's up the the jury to look ...
and to do his work, so we'll speak once they've done it !
-And you dread his decision or not ?
-Hooo no, I'm confident, I think that I've act in the good way so ...
I ain't got ... after it's always complicated but not I ain't got ...
rather confident !
-Hello Bernard, you was really tired when you left Dunedin, I'd like to know in which form you are today.
-Now it's better, I've been able to sleep, the wind was rather stable
I was in the hot sector of the high, in front of the low, that it was rather stable.
I've been able to rest, and eat and all, so that's rather good !
For the hydrogenerators, it's not bad, it seems strong, in addition I've hit something ...
there was something stuck in the hydrogenerator half an hour ago, and everything has hold, so ...
so I'm rather happy !
and the other thing is that I've lost my grinder again,so I"m green ! It's starting to be boring
doing the maneuvers on the winches its ...
it's bodybuilding center !
-We can imagine ! Tell me, it's been 50 days that you're being at sea
what are you aspiring at, cause despite everything, you had 50 rather agitated days !
-I don't get you clear, can you repeat please ?
-I was saying, Bernard, that today it's been 50 days that you're at sea, I wanted to know what you're aspiring at.
-What I'm aspiring at ? eehhhhh .... well, I'm aspiring at ...
to be able to race ! To live my construction work ! That's it !
And ... I'm on good way, but it's not totally it so ...
Now already it's moving forward, so it's a big plus !
And it's moving forward ... I aint got ... I can make the route at the normal speed I possibly can
that's just the maneuvers which are - ouch - really longer than normally, but that's the way it is ...
so when I'll can normally race again it will be great !
-Olivia ...
-Yes Bernard, we effectively feel that you've gained back confidence
cause you've catch a little bit Arnaud Boissiere, that's really a goal, being full on all the time !
-Now I'm trying to ... anyway I'm condemned to go fast, cause It's only when I'm going fast that I can charge my batteries.
and life ... life is really simpler, cause when I was stopped ...
I had a vision, close to two hours, after I'd say that ...
more far than two hours, I was unable to say what was going to happen !
so this is really wearing as way of functioning, you see at the end I wasn't knowing ..
after, there is always the possibility to throw in the towel, and call for help, but that's not the goal !
but at the end I had only half a litter of fresh water !
and after I had to ... to produce fresh water I had to move with the boat ...
so I had to finish the ... you see every maneuvers had to be done sailing cause ...
I was used by those acrobatics !
I prefer a good storm in the south, when it's moving correctly, than that over there !
-Thank you Bernard, we are going to leave you cause we're going to try to call other boats.
Bernard Stamm, Cheminee Poujoulat who continues his route, round of applause !
