It took the crew 25 days and 1 hour to sail from Kona (Hawaii) to Noumea (New Caledonia). A navigation that was punctuated by all types of weather: tailwinds, crosswinds but also headwinds. More often in excess of energy than the opposite, the ship was able to rely on the sun and the wind. This navigation marks a milestone in the Odyssey of Energy Observer, which has officially reached 10,000 nautical miles covered in 2021, i.e. 40,000 nautical miles since its departure in 2017. A milestone achieved in record time since its 4 years of exploration!
