Athens, Saturday, June 18, 12:10: after <\/span>13 days and nights of rowing, 24 hours a day,<\/b> or 320 cumulative hours<\/b> to cover the 1800km<\/b> from Monaco with the only force of the arms, our <\/span>6 Waterwomen of CAP OPTIMIST<\/b> Itziar ABASCAL, Marie GOYENECHE, Emmanuelle BESCHERON, Margot CALVET, Alexandra LUX and St\u00e9phanie GEYER-BARNEIX<\/b> set foot on land at the port of Piraeus (Athens – Greece). <\/span><\/strong><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”|0px||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.capoptimist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/DSC_0868.jpg” title_text=”DSC_0868″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#006668″ text_font_size=”18px” width=”99.8%” custom_padding=”|10px||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]

It is under a thunder of applause and a huge wave of emotion that the young hopeful Marie GOYENECHE,<\/b> last relay of this expedition, exhausted but shot with adrenaline, crossed, or more precisely “flew over”, the finish line at 12:00 am sharp, under the eyes ofAnnika Horn, daughter of Mike Horn, project partner and Cap Optimist ambassador. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

During this Mediterranean crossing, our athletes, all of whom have won titles in international competitions, experienced epic conditions<\/b> 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. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

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

This test expedition #2 is the final rehearsal before the departure and has allowed the waterwomen <\/span>to identify no less than 90 points of improvement <\/b> to optimize their performance: pacing versus resting, passing of relays, feeding, equipment, safety protocol… They knew how to acclimatize and learn throughout the expedition in the smallest details:<\/span><\/p>\n
