The light winds that have slowed down Atlantic Odyssey boats on their way to Barbados have finally kicked in with strong trade winds blowing now right across the tropical North Atlantic.
Three boats arrived at first light today, 9 December, first the Italian Venus, next the Canadian Element and finally the Franco-American Sacre Bleu.
