British skipper Samanatha Davies arrived back in Les Sables d Olonne on Friday after over 100 days at sea during which she had to abandon the round-the-world single-handed Vendee Globe.
The 46-year-old, one of six women among the 33 boats that started the race on November 8, crossed the Equator in ninth on the way out but on the 25th day of the race her boat Initiatives Coeur hit an unidentified floating object in the Cape of Good Hope.
