While she is in twelfth place in the Vendée Globe rankings and sailing off the coast of Argentina, Clarisse Crémer revealed that she suffered discomfort this Monday aboard L’Occitane en Provence, she who has already suffered from hallucinations .
The rise of the Atlantic Ocean does not start under the best auspices for Clarisse Crémer. As she passed Cape Horn on January 1, the sailor saw the weight of the long weeks on the high seas weighing on her more and more. Indeed, the native of Paris revealed this Sunday that she “is officially starting, after two months at sea, to have a breakdown”, having already had to deal with a leak earlier in the race. More seriously, she confided having experienced an episode of hallucinations aboard her monohull, having “had the impression of being in Auvergne, on a hill, going up and down” before coming to her senses. However, the problem that Clarisse Crémer revealed this Monday in a video message transmitted to the daily West France is much more serious. The wife of Tanguy Le Turquais, another participant in this tenth edition of the Vendée Globe, confided that she had felt unwell. “I blocked my neck and left shoulder,” she first confided. With discomfort behind… It’s hard. »
Crémer: “There, I don’t feel up to it”
A concern that she presents as “muscular” and of which she thinks she has identified the cause, being “linked to a lack of hydration”. “I’m going to put things in place and things will get better,” she confided in a more reassuring tone. But you quickly feel fragile in a situation like that, alone at sea.” Letting a few tears appear, the one who took twelfth place in the 2020-2021 edition of the Vendée Globe admitted that being alone on board could prove problematic at times. “On your own, like that, you feel so vulnerable, at your mercy, when there are a few things going wrong physically. There, I don’t feel up to it. I’m in so much pain. » Concerns which are not without consequences on the morale of the sailor, who concluded her message by promising to send a next video message “to say that everything is fine”. High morale will be necessary to complete the solo round-the-world trip, non-stop and without assistance in the best conditions, which can improve your best result in this demanding event.
