videos: YVAN BOURGNON: CIRCUMNAVIGATION ON A SMALL OPEN CAT

On this blog I had already posted about him:


After  a very difficult Atlantic crossing (that lead to the abandon of his partner) he continues as if everything was simple.  We leaved him on Panama channel. Now he is on the middle of the Pacific Ocean, going from Tahiti to Raiatea. He stops frequently and he seems to be enjoying live. I thought he was crazy. Now I am not so sure, but I am quite sure he is a hell of a sailor ;-) Some days ago  he broke a rib on a brutal chock against the mast but he says that's nothing. He is also a very tough guy :-). On Raiatea he is going to meet his brother Laurent (also a great sailor). He lives there and the last time he saw him was 6 years ago.

  1. For all that he's been through in this adventure, he still looks surprisingly well-fed and healthy. From the video footage you would think he was taking a leisurely Sunday summer sail on Lake Garda. Extraordinary.
