A drone above the altantic. To undertake the crewed around-the-world record is as much about the human adventure as it is a technical and sporting challenge. The men and women working alongside Dona Bertarelli and Yann Guichard at Spindrift racing have been preparing this race against the clock for almost three years. The target: to sail around the world in less than 45 days, 13 hours and 42 minutes. The tough record they will try to beat was set by Loïck Peyron and his crew in 2012 on Banque Populaire V, which was renamed Spindrift 2 a year later. The French-Swiss team decided to use the same 40 m trimaran because they believed that the boat could be further optimised, a task that sailors, engineers and technicians at the team have been working on ever since. After countless hours of work at the boatyard and 40,000 nautical miles of racing and training, the Spindrift racing-prepared trimaran is all set to go. The team will officially go on stand-by on October 19th and wait for the ideal weather window.

​@callsignjumbo and I flew and handful touch and goes at Burke Lakefront Airport. I piloted for just a very short time, but still got the rush from being in control of a plane. I love flying! #Cleveland #Skyline #Piper #PiperArcher #PiperCherokee #Aviation #Avionics #Autopilot #Pilot #PilotsLicense #PrivatePilot #Flying #FlightSchool #FlightClub #SmallAircraft #Sober #SoberLife #Reel #Reels #TikTok #Cesna #Cesna172

Galera, vou precisar vender minha prancha de STAND UP PADDLE, Não vou parar com minhas aventuras mas vou precisar me desfazer dela agora pois minha CHERRIE precisou fazer uma cirurgia e tô precisando da grana. Foi muita grana mesmo ao total já passou do 8 mil. Quem conhece sabe que essa prancha é muito estável, muito confortável e não queria me desfazer nunca dela. A prancha é SUPER LEVE, NOVA, O DECK que é branco pra não esquentar no sol que suja CLARO, mas eu esfrego sempre com sabão que fica tudo certo rsrsr.... Tem uma quilha super resistente! Inclusive que comprar gostaria que se um dia fosse vender me chamar pois quando tudo melhorar eu vou querer comprar novamente.
