The start of the Route du rhum, a famous solo transatlantic race, which was to be given on Sunday in Saint-Malo bound for Guadeloupe, has been postponed. Tuesday or Wednesday pending more favorable weather conditions, the organizers announced on Saturday. To talk about it, our guest Catherine Chabaud, one of the 138 skippers entered in the race this year.
Some of our listeners may remember you since you are, among other things, the first woman to have completed a Vendée Globe. It was in 1997, after 140 days at sea. Twenty-five years later, you have therefore decided to put on the raincoat again for a great solo race, but this time, your objective is not only sporting: your participation also aims to publicize a fight that has been close to your heart for a long time, the defense of the oceans. A fight that you are now also leading as an MEP in Strasbourg.
