    Ruyant Nips Thompson's 24 Hour Mono Record





    With more than 2200 nautical miles still to sail, at least two more low pressure systems before a timely finish into Lorient expected Saturday, there is still a long, long way to go on the Retour a La Base solo Transatlantic from Martinique to France.
