The Atlantic Is Ours!
At the beginning of January, the moorings were cast off for good and the adventure could begin for Jeole1. The multihull would have no less than 2,600 miles to cover.

This morning I noticed some contrasting light, with the ocean and sky dressed up in their best ‘half-angel, half-demon’ finery - the combination of sun, clouds and sea gave us some unique and breathtaking views. It was both splendid and unsettling. This morning I can’t fully relax, as the dark clouds from the night before have come back to haunt my dreams and the skyline furtively reveals flashes of lightning in the distance ahead. As on the previous day, the palette of colors in the seascape is stunning, and the dawn brings me comfort and a sense of fulfilment - it’s simply beautiful. The afternoon ended with the moment we’d all been waiting for: tossing the «message in a bottle» into the sea. Mika had promised himself that he’d do it at the halfway point. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that the journey of this bottle and its message of hope will be the beginning of a beautiful story. Before us lies Martinique.
