On September 11th, I will embark on MILAI Around The World with skipper Masa Suzuki for a leg of the round-the-world race from Mauritius to Auckland.

It will be a great experience, a test for the future and a sort of big first time:

• my first race on a Class 40 boat;
• my first navigation in the Indian Ocean;
• the first time south of the equator;
• the first passage of one of the 3 most important Capes, Cape Lewin.

I can’t wait to leave and experience this new and great adventure in the ocean.

Don’t miss my weekly diary on board: Salty Tales!
