As Ben Lecomte and his team are sailing from Yokohama, Japan to their last exit point 583 nautical miles (1,080 km) from shore somewhere east of Japan, they are about 4 days from restarting The Swim after running into two separate dangerous weather patterns and storms.
Paul Lecomte reports from the escort boat, “All good on Seeker. Following [the] recommended route, we are making progress east against the wind and should be back to the swim point in about 4 days.”
