Mini Transat Yacht Race 21660 AM 1500 UTC 18 NOV 2025

Excellent reception....much better than 2 weeks ago, no noise what so ever - English/French service
1500 "The Black Pearl" Scotty
1502 French accented YL "Forecast for November 18....." (gives forecast for next several days in English)
At conclusion of weather, YL seemed to be saying they were looking for boat/sailor (maybe to make contact?) - tough to decipher with very thick accent.
1507 YL "That's all for today, have a nice day."
1508 "Rapsodi" Lalielmanino
1510 "Cause You're the One" waykap
1511 "Flow Kabron" Don Tonic
1515 "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" Propellerheads, Off
1545 Carrier still present

Interesting as this is the only 15 minute broadcast I have heard over the years, generally 1 hour - I can recall some in the 40 minute range.  Also, first time I heard transmission with significantly more English than French spoken.
