“Here we are, friends!
First Cape Horn, 4th in the Vendée Globe… Something crazy, I can't believe it!
»During the night from Sunday to Monday (2:40 am), Damien Seguin (Groupe Apicil) passed Cape Horn for the first time in his life.
With a bottle of champagne in hand, the Nantes skipper did not hide his emotion.
“I cried all the tears in my body, it's so hard to get there.
Damien Seguin is currently fourth in the Vendée Globe behind the leading trio in order: Bestaven, Dalin and Rettant.
🚨 Cape Horn: it's done!
✔
😍 When the dream comes true!
At 3:40 am (HF), Damien screamed through the night and broke down in tears.
It was at the time of passing Cape Horn… his first Cape Horn!
