Monday, May 29, Expedition Newsletter The OceanoScientific Explorer "Boogaloo" and I will have arrived at the end of this great adventure which took us to the Deep South, to the land of albatrosses. On the quay, will surely crowd all our young supporters of the Condamine primary school, already in number at the start. It will be a moment of strong emotion.
I will have the pleasure to dedicate to each of you a nice poster that Papeteries de Clairefontaine, our loyal partner, printed when I was still far from the goal. As I have browsed, through these Kids Newsletters, I hope I have conveyed to you a good part of the emotion that I myself felt during this solo navigation. Also provided that you are aware of the imperative need to preserve the Ocean. I also wish to have made you want, on the one hand to fulfill your own dreams and, on the other hand, to travel the world to discover the most wonderful things that the Planet offers, whether on land or at sea.
Live your dreams, build a bright future while respecting Nature. It's your turn! This beautiful rainbow in the wake of Boogaloo marked the end of the very last squall of the North Atlantic, while the bow was already aimed at the Strait of Gibraltar. As if the great ocean gave us a knowing wink after so many days spent in its company. The emotion of the sea is hidden behind every cloud.

I have about nautical miles to cover direct route , or about 1, kilometers, before entering the port of Monaco. The breezes promise to be variable in strength and direction and I will probably have to finish the course with the help of the motor, because a great calm should bathe the French Mediterranean coast at the end of the week, as very often at this time of the year.
