The southern Pacific Ocean between the longitude of Tasmania and New Zealand has proven to be just a little bit too peaceful for the liking of leaders Yannick Bestaven, Charlie Dalin and Thomas Ruyant.
Perhaps the most nervous of all has been Yannick Bestaven who has been leading Dalin and Ruyant for more than two days.
The Vendee Globe pacemaking trio have been slowed and so conceded nearly 100 miles to the chasing group of boats which has enjoyed perfect conditions.
