The adventure enters a very concrete phase: outing with the boat of the crossing, first nights on board (2 hours then 4 hours of sleep! hard to get used to the continuous movement of the water). Important observation: it will be necessary to test several types of mattresses to find an optimal solution (weight/comfort ratio) because sleep will be essential during the crossing. We also take the opportunity to do boat turning tests (with me in the boat and then outside) as well as man-overboard tests. 48 intense hours to get acquainted with Atlantelia*, the boat. 48 hours that didn’t discourage me!
The training is validated, the adventure continues.
* Atlantelia comes from Atlantel (Atlantic in Breton) and elia (suffix used by the community of municipalities for their project)
