You reconsider fun when on hour 36 of no sleep, sewing needle in hand, about 100 miles from the spot the titanic sunk with 2,000nm more to go and no mainsail. Racing across oceans is real work, and I think it takes a crazy frenchmen or once in a while crazy brit to continue thinking its fun! Love all the tech in the boat, and applaud all the shore teams and skippers for getting their boats this far with no major breakages (a first I think for this race).
