This is certainly one of the most unusual orders listed on the Uber Eats application. Thursday evening, Fabrice Amedeo clicked on the green logo on his cell phone, selected the McDonald’s restaurant and had some products delivered to the family home located in Vannes (France).
So far, nothing exceptional. However, the 46-year-old sailor took this step from the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Because the French skipper of the Nexans-Wewise team has been involved in the Vendée Globe for three weeks.
The forty-year-old, 34th at the 11 a.m. score this Saturday morning of this solo, non-stop and unassisted world tour, therefore did not request the services of the American fast food giant for himself.
“My three daughters were late for dinner because their mom was at tennis,” he says on his Instagram account. My eldest called me and, from the middle of the South Atlantic, I ordered McDonald’s on Uber Eats. And the McDonald’s was delivered to the house at 8:10 p.m. in Vannes.”
Fabrice Amedeo, who readily recognizes that “the myth of the solitary sailor” takes a hit through this anecdote, inevitably had the recognition of his children. “In these cases, my daughters call me “Super Fabou”,” he joked on social networks.
The race, which is in its tenth edition and which started from Les Sables-d’Olonne on November 10, is now led by Frenchman Yoann Richomme (Paprec Arkéa).
