Pure bliss! And what a contrast to last night, when I ended up switching back to full-throttle mode with the full spinnaker when I thought I\u2019d be cruising along quietly with the small spinnaker.<\/p><p>After a sleepless night spent slaloming between the Sargassum banks and wielding the seaweed rod, I was starting to hallucinate a bit! I tell myself that\u2019s just how it works\u2014certainly not by playing it safe: you give it your all, and the result is the cherry on top.<\/p><p>PersaiVert lives up to its name, and I\u2019m proud of the organization, which does so much with so few resources in Senegal and never gives up. That\u2019s the message: it\u2019s all about commitment.<\/p><p>Upon arrival at the dock, a wonderful moment and guaranteed emotions with Alex, who has nothing but super nice things to say even though he himself put on a show on the water. The kind organizers Jean-Philippe and Thibault, as well as all the dedicated volunteers, the representatives from Martinique, Jacky and Patricia, and a whole bunch of people happy to see me happy.<\/p><p>I feel a deep joy and immense gratitude. I was thinking about it last night as I sailed along the coast of Barbados at dusk, in an otherworldly light: what an adventure!<\/p><p>The results are fantastic, as Ose beat the Pogo RC Aruba on corrected time. In the end, for the JPK 1050s, that means:<\/p><ul><li>1st, 2nd, and 3rd in solo class<\/li><li>1st and 4th in double-handed class<\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>The boats are amazing but demand a lot to be pushed to the limit. Clearly, you have to love pushing yourself to the max!<\/p><p>Bravo to Jacques, the maestro, and to the entire shipyard team: all our young 1050s crossed brilliantly, without a hitch. Time for the debrief and some camaraderie, fully immersed in the human adventure\u2026<\/p><p>Thank you for following along with the updates from the boat. For me, moments like these allow for escape and sharing. And congratulations to the magnificent winners!<\/p><p>\u2014 JP<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c812b1e elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"c812b1e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=b9jtAwvqBZ4&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mardi 12 mai (J21) \u00e0 18h04 Trop content ! \u00c7a y est, j\u2019y suis, sur les pontons de Fort-de-France, apr\u00e8s les derniers milles men\u00e9s avec du vent de face, au pr\u00e8s et de la mer plate.
