I had the great honour of joining some living legends for lunch on Friday, during the press conference (about 12 people only) for the launch of the Barcelona World Race.
Mark Turner, from OC Events (and Ellen MacArthur’s business partner) had invited the specialised sailing press to talk about his new event, a 2–crew round the world sailing race, to start on November 11th, 2007.
I know nothing about the sailing world nor their icons, code and language, but was really impressed by the simplicity of these guys, their courage, and their sympathy. Pierre-Yves dragged me there, and it was a delight. The Burgundy was very good too, thanks Abigaëlle!
Pierre-Yves asked me to videoblog 3 interviews of Mark Turner, Roland Jourdain, and Jean-Pierre Dick: you’ll find these shortly on his blog: blogs.lexpress.fr/aularge.
In the meantime, you have to go and watch the 15’ movie presenting the race on the official site. It’s just great !
