Joyon off again

Solo transat attempt underway for second time

Having set out yesterday on his Route of Discovery record attempt between Cadiz and San Salvador in the Bahamas Francis Joyon returned to the Spanish starting port last night to replace a genniker halyard.

Joyon's boat, IDEC reached port faster than anticipated and after just an hour feeding in a new halyard, she was able to recross the line at 21:35:40GMT.
