The idea was born at that time. The departure was given on Sunday, July 18, , day of my 37th birthday. I was supposed to leave in the morning, but I'm sick, big cold and a strep throat. So I decide to leave at 1pm from Castets, just to rest as much as possible. I have the pleasure to have my daughters, my mom and my partner in this beginning of Adventure, they also help me to inflate my board because I am still very tired.
Direction the Domaine Quiescis in Marcellus to join my friends and a memorable birthday party with an initiation to the Polynesian Dance and the Haka. Tomorrow, the serious things begin. Here I am in the big time, I can't go back. Yet, not even 1 hour after my departure, here I am in MNS mode for kittens. In the middle of the canal, his back legs don't want to work anymore, his eyes under water and closed, just his little muzzle and his desire to live I put him on my board, we get out of the water and my companion came to get him.
She will be called Grisette! The night went well in bivouac, in the forest with animals and various noises: in short, I slept 3 hours, but happy to have spent my first night alone in a tent.
This third stage will be epic spades! Around 11am, I get stung by wasps on a pontoon! At least 4 stings including one on the face.
A little moment of fear, a shot of cold water and here we go again! End of the course very difficult because of the overwhelming heat and no more water. A second night in bivouac agitated, with rodeo of motorcycles and scooters at the departure of the canal bridge. Departure early in rocket mode, objective, to put rhythm because this evening direction the Garden of the controller with a small glass of wine, charcuterie and a good shower!
