Why a new beginning  ?

(interview after the announcement of the 2006 project)

​

As if there was a logical, pragmatic and obvious answer to this question.

I'm leaving because I simply  want to continue this way  that with my team we have drawn twice already. I have the feeling of being in my place in this piece of life that I have chosen for myself.  No more no less.

It can be difficult for an "earthling" to understand the joys that one discovers on the water. I admit that it is not easy to envisage solitude as the only companion and the immensity as the only horizon, but yet the ocean, just like this next challenge, seems obvious to me, both the culmination of my past adventures and springboard for my future challenges?

From my two previous crossings, I have kept only the best, because I am thus, rather optimistic in the face of a life that I know is unforeseen and sometimes ephemeral. I haven't forgotten the fatigues and hardships experienced along the way, I know what the worst means, I know the fear, but they must not  gangrene my impulses. Always go forward. Go on other journeys, move forward, continue to live and soak up every moment.

Sometimes our existence boils down to risking everything to pursue a dream that no one but you can understand...
