🌊⛵ 10 YEARS OF DREAMING… AND FINALLY AT SEA! ❤️

Join 🇮🇹 Guido on his first days at sea in the 2026 Golden Globe Race, sailing from Les Sables-d’Olonne, France, towards Lanzarote!

Leaving family and friends behind was emotional. As thousands of supporters cheered the fleet through the channel, Guido admits he was moved to tears. After 10 years of dreaming, preparing and working on his boat, his incredible adventure has finally become reality!

🎥 In this special onboard update, Guido shares:

❤️ The emotional farewell to his wife, children and friends in Les Sables-d’Olonne.

⛵ The incredible feeling of finally being at sea after 10 years of preparation.

🐬 Beautiful sailing conditions and dolphins leaping alongside his boat!

🌬️ A challenging start across the Bay of Biscay, with strong winds followed by almost no wind.

😂 A friendly rivalry with fellow GGR sailor 🇨🇭 Etienne Messikommer, who managed to sneak ahead — "the little rascal!"

🧭 Life aboard, celestial navigation, and the challenge of sailing around the world without modern navigation technology.

And Guido reminds us what really matters:

"The challenge is to get to the other side."

A beautiful glimpse into the emotions, humour and determination behind the Golden Globe Race.
