There is little likelihood of a collision with another contender on a stretch of water like the Atlantic Ocean, but, nonetheless, that's what nearly happened in the night.
It was the Activ’echo that got me out of my bunk. There was an irregular echo and thinking it was a distant cargo ship, I looked on the computer, but nothing was visible on screen.
It was only when I went above deck that I saw a green light slip just in front of the bow.
It was Marco Guillemot, 50 m ahead, he was portside and I was starboard.
I tried to contact him by VHF, but he must have been in his bunk too!
