It's now been five days since the IMOCA fleet set sail from Les Sables d'Olonne, and already the leading boats are approaching the Canary Islands.

Pierre Le Roy, boat captain and co-skipper of Team Monnoyeur-Duo for a Job, reflects on these initial days at sea and shares his outlook for the rest of the race.
