A Special Gathering at the Global Solo Challenge Skippers’ Meet

Real Club Náutico de Vigo (Vigo, Spain)
🌍 I participated in the “Global Solo Challenge Skippers’ Meet.”

This event is a special gathering that combines:

  • the award ceremony and journey recap of the 2023–2024 edition, and
  • the introduction of skippers (participants) for the 2027–2028 edition.

Challengers who had returned from more than nine countries gathered there,
along with new skippers preparing to take on a circumnavigation of the world.

Together we shared:

  • stories of the challenges we have faced,
  • visions of the adventures to come, and
  • the bonds we share as fellow sailors.

I also received a certificate of friendship (?) from the Brotherhood.

I gave a five-minute presentation as well.

My journey—from the challenge of unclimbed peaks, to finishing the Mini Transat, and now the Global Solo Challenge—
is featured in a video that I have just released.

You can watch it via the link in my profile.
