Warned Jean Pierre Dick on the French Vendée Globe Live show this afternoon. With less than 5000 miles to sail now to the finish line, the leaders are passing Itajai in southern Brazil, the finish port of the Transat Jacques Vabre, and therefore retracing a now familiar climb back to France which many sailed solo last year after the end of the two handed race to Brazil. But with the chasing group now having eroded Yannick Bestaven s lead to 226 nautical miles and five skippers withing 345 nautical miles, the next 48 hours - and the passage of the cold front at Cabo Frio by Rio - and strategic choices to get to the Easterly trade winds is going to be pivotal.
