Sarah and Aurélien are our two new adventurers, whom we will follow for several months in their journey around the world, through their vlog (video blog). Around the world not quite since the final destination of this young couple of windsurfers (and their little Nael aged 4 months) will be Nouméa, in New Caledonia, where Sarah is from.
By the way, Sarah (Hébert) is perhaps not unknown to you, and it is normal since she was vice-champion of the world of windsurfing and quadruple champion of France in 2005. She then turned to stand-up paddle yoga, an activity for which she teaches (but also windsurfing, paddle etc.). And Aurélien Le Metayer is also from windsurfing competition, that's how they met...
A trip to discover snow sports spots
For 2 years, Sarah and Aurélien have been actively preparing their trip, which was originally scheduled to take place in September 2016. But meanwhile Sarah got pregnant and a little Nael arrived on January 12, 2017, delaying their departure a little. All three will leave Etel (Morbihan) on 17 May 2017 - Nael will then have 4 months - for a trip around the Mediterranean. An experience Sarah has already lived, since she spent her first eleven years on her parents' boat, passionate about sailing.
To get ready, Sarah and Aurelien bought Maloya, an Océanis 411 sailboat Clipper 12.71 m, in which they have lived for three years and are preparing for this long journey.
Through their videos, we will discover how they prepare for their journey, but also their life on board, their discoveries, their sliding sessions, as well as the crossing, with a baby... an experience we do not live every day!
From Brittany to Nouméa
Our three adventurers will leave on May 17th for Cape Verde with a few stops planned in the meantime such as the Canary Islands, Portugal or Morocco to discover the snow spots. They will wait for the end of the year and the trade winds (November/December) to cross the Atlantic and reach the West Indies: Martinique, Guadeloupe...
Then, after a year, they will set sail again towards the Panama Canal and Tahiti or Hawaii, before returning to New Caledonia.
