It's time to leave! The Vendée Globe skippers are setting sail today for at least 2 and a half months. They took turns walking the pontoons to reach their boat. It was then time to say “goodbye” to family, friends, partners. A sometimes difficult passage for sailors. Many of them expressed their emotion at the microphone of the organization, their eyes misty, tears never far away. Others had anticipated the separation to avoid leaving with a lump in their stomach. Fortunately, they can console themselves with the support of the public who came in large numbers, before the race and the weeks of solitude begin.
