Vendée Globe

"Hi, I’m back!
It’s been a while since I left and have been alone out here doing everything for myself. When I say everything, that is exactly what I mean. It is our profession, but as sailing is simple. We’re always having to do other things, just to make sure we don’t get bored! So I’ve drawn up a list of what would makes the ideal round the world sailor. I’ve noted down the names of celebrities, who are renowned for their skills, talent, character or a particular quality (or fault depending on your standpoint!) in a particular area. This is of course not a complete list, but simply a list of suggestions for our little game! So in no particular order:
- the photographer, Robert Doisneau, for his skill at capturing scenes that will be remembered from ordinary life;
- Yann Arthus Bertrand, who takes pictures of the beauty of the world;
- Fellini, who doesn’t need a introduction
- Tintin, as everyone loves him;
- Tabarly, for his status as a hero – the indestructible menhir;
- Mac Gyver, who always knows how to get out of trouble with the means at his disposal;
- Gad Elmaleh, or how to make everyone laugh;
- Macha Béranger, who knows how to help those having doubts;
- Philippe Lucas, who will kick you into shape;
- Bernard Tapie, the friend of the man upstairs, who is never afraid to say what he thinks;
- PPDA and his brother to tell the epic story of those at sea;
- Jean Todt and the Ferrari team, who could repair your mast in ten seconds;
- Hitchcock, the master of suspense ;
- Bill Gates, not for his money (although…) but for his computing skills;
- The Pope, he is supposed to spread the Good Word;
- Léon Zitrone, the inimitable host of France’s “It’s a Knockout"
- Dior, if you have anything that needs to be sewn
- The surgeon, who carried out the first heart transplant (Christian Barnard - editor). You never know when that might be handy.
- Jean-Pierre Coffe, the only person who can make a healthy balanced soup, even when the fridge is empty.
Who else? We could go on and on.
Oh yes. You also need to know how to sail a bit, as that may be useful. But if you can’t an HGV licence will do. »
