I have some photos, but I have just watched the weekly recap of VendeeGlobe 2020 and nothing I have compares …

SO, even if you do not sail or know about sailing …

So much science, athleticism, technical knowledge, seamanship extraordinaire … I used to follow US sports, not for some years … and now, the idea of following “balls” and the absolutely childish behavior in US sport… Vendee Globe is above and beyond any sport that I have ever followed.

I have come to love all of the skippers and have also looked at their sponsors.  Many of the skippers are sponsored by charitable organizations (detail in future posts, hopefully!)

From somewhere in the video:

“Anyone who finishes the Vendee Globe returns a different person”

I will add … if you follow the Vendee Globe, you WILL return a different person. I am already … not quite half way through … a different person.

I hope a better person.

I hope a more civil, a more compassionate, a more respectful person.
