Following unfavorable weather for the first hours of the race, the 138 competitors in the Route du Rhum destination Guadeloupe 2022 set off on November 9, after a three-day wait. A much milder weather under the sun, and with about fifteen knots on the line in the axis, forced the competitors to tack to reach the Fréhel buoy.
