That is a link showing the track of my qualifier in June / July 2010.  A few photos and the route I took.

The qualifier is a mandatory 1,000 nautical mile loop, which everyone who wants to do the Mini Transat must complete.  Mine was quite slow, with light winds on most days.  Fortunately I had a lot of food and water, and the biggest problem was boredom, rather than breakages.
