During this Mediterranean crossing, our athletes, all of whom have won titles in international competitions, experienced epic conditions throughout the journey. They endured some nice storms and thunderstorms, faced periods of swell of more than 2 meters, headwinds and had some unexpected encounters with a shark.<\/p>\n

These extraordinary conditions have certainly tested the morale of the sportswomen but have allowed to highlight an excellent team cohesion, both among themselves and with the crew, an important and determining factor for the good progress of the final project this winter: to join Peru to French Polynesia, 8000 km this time.<\/span><\/p>\n

A week dedicated to meetings with the entire <\/b>Optimist<\/i><\/b>partners (private, associations, medical) and project ambassadors. A week rich in emotions during which St\u00e9phanie, Alexandra, Emmanuelle, Marie and Margot travelled through the Gironde, the Landes and the Atlantic Pyrenees in the form of a nomadic and sportive road trip. Several paddleboard crossings on the lakes of Sanguinet, Biscarosse, Aureilhan and Hossegor to their credit with sections also in the ocean with notably a night paddle Mimizan\/ Capbreton (60km) and a day paddle Capbreton\/ Biarritz (20km); the waterwomen have not only discovered incredible landscapes but have also met :<\/b><\/p>\n

After more than two million turns of the arm, they take up an unprecedented world exploit by connecting Canada to France in paddleboard (small board of 5,15 m length and 50 cm broad), in relay and accompanied by a sailboat of assistance. Sponsored and skippered by Yves Parlier, the expedition enters the Guinness Book of Records.<\/p>\n
