Turning Tide (En solitaire) (En solitaire)

For his first non-stop, solo, round-the-world Vendée Globe

without aid, Yann Kermadec replaces Franck Drevil

after his unfortunate motorcycle accident.

On his 3rd day, he can boast second place in the running.

Franck Drevil, you won the last race

on the same boat, now skippered by your second.

Are you disappointed?

Obviously, it's a bit surreal,

but I'm happy for Yann's early lead.

TURNING TIDE

It's unreal! Tonight, I take the lead.

- I know. - I'm Way into it.

You'll see, it's a done deal.

It's great, but calm down. Save your energy,

we're all with you!

Get the boat back here!

Sure, Franck.

Don't get giddy-

You've got a long ride.

Don't worry. I'm careful.

Call you soon, Marie.

He's having a wild time with my boat.

It's a party. Hey, kids.

Hello, Léa.

Are you OK, Léa?

Can you clean up a bit?

You OK?

You OK?

Your brother's got nerve. "Bring back the boat." Sure.

I know, but understand, it's his boat.

I asked you to clean up! Please, listen.

You're not alone?

Your daughter invited some friends.

It's a bit chaotic, but I'm managing.

Is she alright?

Great.

But it's hard to have her here every day.

She's not used to it.

We're getting used to each other.

Don't worry.

Have you talked?

Together, about that?

She's not very talkative, like her dad.

What's that, there?

What? Where?

There!

Underneath...

Beneath your scarf.

You mean, here?

Right there!

- Take a look. - It's beautiful.

There's another.

- Take care of them. - I promise.

Keep them safe. I miss them terribly.

Yo, sardine,

what's your sign?

Your astrological sign? Taurus? Aquarius?

I'm Pisces.

Of course, how stupid of me. Listen...

Pisces: Don't succumb to the sirens of facility.

Take challenges.

Follow your path. Take charge.

Take the lead.

What kind of crappy horoscope is that?

Trying to take the Canaries before me? Watch it.

- Between Bretons! -Yeah.

Respect the hierarchy.

What a jerk.

10 minutes isn't enough. You gotta sleep or you'll lose it.

I've got drive. I'm not feeling tired.

Yeah, but it'll hit you hard. You'll be a zombie.

Don't worry.

Don't worry?

See what happened to me?

Good thing, otherwise I wouldn't be here.

Very funny.

Have a laugh.

Enjoy it. And try to be as good as me.

I'll try, boss.

Bye.

5th Day - Off the Shore of Morocco Yann Kermadec - 1st

We've just learned

that Yann Kermadec has beaten

Drevil's 24 hour long-distance,

solo record

bringing it

to 542 miles.

Bastard!

To him.

- Next time it'll be you. - We'll see.

He's starting to step on my toes.

François!

Yann?

It sucks. I hit something.

Anything broken?

The rudder, maybe the daggerboard.

I hope the axel's undamaged.

- It's complicated to fix. - ls Franck there?

Hello?

- Is Franck there? - He's sleeping.

Wake him.

- He's sleeping. - Wake him!

No choice. You gotta anchor for repairs.

That'll take 2 days.

And that means it's over... finished.

Don't be stupid. The others might need repairs.

Remember the Transat en Double. We overtook Juhel.

I'll put François on.

No, wait.

You're right...

"don't get giddy."

Forget about it. Victory's what counts.

Speak to you later.

Yann, François here.

In your reparation kit, use number 2.

It won't be easy... You must prepare the surfaces.

Otherwise, it won't hold. Be careful.

I know, OK.

7th day - Stop at the Canary Islands Y. Kermadec - 4th

Shit.

Listen, Yann, I need photos... Images like MacGyver.

Robinson Crusoe at sea. I've called 5 times.

Call me back. It's important.

The Vendée Globe?

Good luck!

I can't believe him!

He's so annoying.

Think he'll get off again?

We hope so.

Hi there.

How are you?

Nice. You seem so happy to see me.

I can go home alone. Why did you pick me up?

I enjoy picking you up. Understand?

You don't have to.

I know I don't.

Hello...

a little smile.

There, that's better.

Hello?

See the ranking'? I'm pissed off.

I understand. If I were you, I'd stop. Just drop it.

What's the point of continuing? Turn around.

It's better.

Turn around?

You'll be here for Christmas, for Lea.

Hold it, listen...

I know you want to beat them, so go for it!

Stay confident and on course.

Come home quick.

We miss you.

Alright.

The same sun's setting for you.

Your dad who's thinking of you.

I'll explain 3 signs that should help you during the 2 months

we'll follow the race.

We'll guess the decisions

the captains will make to win the race.

Are you following, Léa?

There's the anticyclone.

It's written with an

Write it. It's pushed by winds

generally from the west.

And often, when they hit the Atlantic...

Léa, what are you looking at outside?

13th Day - Off the Coast of Senegal Y. Kermadec - 15th

What the hell are you doing here?

Holy shit!

How did you get on board?

What the hell are you doing here?

Fucking hell!

Don't move!

Stay put!

What the hell are you doing here?

Get into the cabin!

I don't want them to see you! Do you understand?

If they see you, I'm dead!

Fucking hell!

Goddammit!

My darling...

Can you see me?

See what I've bought?

- It's nice. - I'll wear it for New Year's.

Like it?

- It looks great. - The length can change.

I can shorten it.

But you can wear it like this or this. Like it?

It's really nice.

I got another one, too.

Tell me which you prefer. This one's a bit more conservative.

Which one?

Marie,

I've got something to tell you.

No...

The first... I prefer the first one.

Listen, my darling... I'm lagging. I've got to go.

I'll call you back.
