Iam following 😅
If you can , Look up Geoffrey woods ileola G19.
We do not often SHARE others publicity on the #GGR2022 but this is a happy read (in FRENCH that Google Auto Translates to English or ??? and gives a good rendition). It shows how being "Inspired" by a person's adventures can change your life. Arnaud, even before his ultimate Golden Globe challenge is already sharing his experience every Sunday on the VENDEE Marina in Les Sables d'Olonne. I am sure that many will be inspired by his dream and the third edition starting SEPT 4th just a few months away... BRAVO Arnaud..... :)...Follow his page if you want more..
Rencontre avec Arnaud Gaist : Futur concurrent de la Golden Globe Race 2022
www.bateaux.com
_ Il sera l'un des trois seuls concurrents français à s'élancer dans la GGR 2022, la course autour du monde en solitaire, sans escale, sans moyen électronique. Portrait d'un navigateur convivial a...A lovely, inspiring article. (And rugby is mentioned. 😉) “Preparation doesn't win a race, but it's 70% of the result. There are two conditions for the GGR: to be really motivated, without lying to yourself, and to know how to do everything. On the boat, I do whatever is necessary.”
Bravo!!!!💪👍🚣🏻♂️
Edward has a job list that starts getting shorter but then has just a few more things added, a common theme for all #GGR2022 entrants. COVID helps no one right now and the first race is still all about getting to the start line. Nothing is certain for any entrants still scattered in countries a long way from Les Sables d'Olonne...Counting the days!!!
This content isn't available right now
When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.I seen this boat a few weeks ago and fell in love with it, at the time I thought it would be perfect for the GG
ouf ya du travail encore , one thing after the other !but there is all at the same time 😂👍
Good Luck!👍😊
And so it begins...probably the last #GGR2022 entrant to start the all important REFIT!!...good luck :)
More than halfway home and sailing the actual #GGR2022 course now back to Cape Town.!!!! With her extensive sailing background before entering the Golden Globe and now building impressive miles on her refitted GGR yacht, Kirsten is sure to be a formidable competitor in the Golden Globe. Her next voyage after this will be to sail back to Les Sables d'Olonne for the start....Good luck!! :)Kirsten is continuing to make great time and is aiming to get further south around the South Atlantic High Pressure which will generally be on her left but moves around faster than she can sail.
We are expecting Kirsten to pass the island of Trindade to port and then head towards Tristian de Cunha but probably be able to get east before getting there.
The goal is to keep the wind angle behind her beam most of the time and the wind speed enough to continue to propel her at 6-8 knots.

that I don't understand is why going so far south , to start from les sables very soon ? or it is just for fun 😊
Go Girl !!

Cette année 2022 sera placée sous le signe du défi sportif et de l'aventure humaine pour Damien qui s'élancera le 4 septembre prochain à l'assaut de la Golden Globe Race 🌍
Prêts à suivre pendant plus de 200 jours l'épopée de Damien sur toutes les mers du globe ? 🌊

Glad to see I am not the only one with a plastic sextant 👍😄
Mike reports on progress of the IMPRESSIVE SUHAILI Replica...he is about to turn the hull and deck and is still hoping to make the start in Les Sables d'Olonne this year. The plan is to ship to Cape Town, finish the fitout there and then sail up to the start. Good luck MIKE!!! #GGR2022

Time flies as we arrive in 2022 and the final part of the journey to the Golden Globe Race Start on 4 September 2022 begins. Now the boat must be finished, equipment identified, sourced and bought,…Really very impressive. Wish him lots of good, handy neighbors

Kirsten is now in the South Atlantic !! :) .. #GGR2022Kirsten crossed the equator yesterday and has been reporting back with a number of wildlife interactions and identification questions. Since she's not able to send photos we've been playing a bit of a guessing game on Google based on the descriptions below. 😀
"40 plus dolphins playing in the bow wave 50nm west of Paul and Peter rocks. Quite big. White tipped nose"
"Gannet type birds diving for flying fish"
"Brazilian coast, dark brown, rather ugly sea birds with longish black beaks land on board, hitch hike till just before dawn, then make sure they're gone before light. I had 3 of them last night. sometimes they get vocal, pace and have altercations"

Kirsten joins Mark Sinclair with a practice run SOLO at sea XMAS ready for 2022....best to both!! #GGR2022Kirsten is doing well in the trades and trying to make as much easting as she can while avoiding directly hitting the waves.
Kirsten has also had some close visits from whales this week including a sperm whale sighting yesterday. Nice to know she'll be in good company for Christmas!
**photo taken on Pelagic**
