The storm in the North Atlantic has made it too rough in Les Sables d'Olonne for latest Vendée Globe finishers Benjamin Dutreux and Clarisse Crémer to enter the channel, so they've had to divert to La Rochelle for shelter.
We bring you updates from them, and then Kojiro Shiraishi at the equator and Violette Dorange making a delicious dinner at sunset.

We conclude with Andi Robertson interviewing Sam Goodchild after he finished over the weekend.
