JV Update–Neptune Wins: Okay, on to Olivier De Kersauson, who had just rounded Cape Horn when we last looked in on him, and….he’s not doing any better than Wave and Ben. De Kersauson and his big trimaran Geronimo just crossed the Equator and are on the final leg home. But they are more than a day behind JV record holder Orange 2002 having suffered one weather delay after another, and more than three days behind new world record holder Steve Fossett. Sorry, Olivier, no new records for you….again. De Kersauson must feel cursed. He’s got the boat, he’s got the crew, he’s got the experience. He just can’t get a break. See you next year, Mon Admiral….



“F*ck it, Olivier. Maybe we should just head for Bermuda and drink Dark and Stormy’s until we can’t see straight…”
