J'espère que vous l'apprécierez autant que moi.Je crois avoir trouvé l'un des meilleurs havres de paix urbains qui soit, ici à Ziguinchor, sur le fleuve Casamance au Sénégal. Dans le restaurant du coin où je vais régulièrement, je rencontre Mohamed pour déjeuner. Il va changer ma vie ici. Grâce à lui, nous nous immergeons dans le joyeux chaos d'un mariage sénégalais, célébrant non seulement une union, mais aussi la profonde communion culturelle que nous trouvons à terre.

Imagine leaving the vast, ferocious ocean behind, after dealing with torn sails, broken autopilot and dodging local fishermen all night long. To then enter a major river with sand banks and unseen currents. This is what happens when Galopin, my sailing vessel designed for the open sea dares to challenge the heart of The Casamance River in Senegal, West Africa. See where Sailor Alex and Japanese crew member Asahi finally drop anchor in unsettling waters. Join us as Galopin goes on an unprecedented ascent, where boat and crew are met with the most surprising of welcoming hosts. A pod of dolphins who guide us upriver for hours to a most stunning location where they tell us to drop anchor for the night. This is sailing Africa!
