After a victory in the 4th round of the Clipper Round World Race, the crew of Halong Bay Vietnam climbed on the top step of the podium for the first time. For Hugo and all his crew, it is the consecration in Australia. A victory won by playing strategy at its best. Alas, the following races are not going to resemble him
Then comes the moment of the break when Hugo takes to the open sea, this time on a motor boat to go snorkelling on the reef. An unlikely place in the middle of nowhere just accessible in very calm weather.
For the following rounds, Hugo decides to put down his camera a little to live differently without having to box his life all the time. Youtubeur requires a permanent involvement which also requires to pause to recharge.
The 5th round started well with a pot au noir passage negotiated at best, but unfortunately, due to an epidemic, the race that was supposed to arrive in China was diverted to the Philippines. The position of Hugo's boat was no longer favourable. In the end, they will be 3rd on this round.
While waiting for the health situation to improve, the race stayed in the Philippines, making heats off this island. Finally, one leg was prepared to cross the Pacific and arrive in Seattle, USA. That's when everything came to a standstill and the boats finally stayed in port.
