Tonight I listened to Rich Wilson speak about his adventure of sailing the Vendee Globe race. The occasion was the 30th anniversary of Lift Raft and Survival Equipment, begun by Jim O’Oconnor.
Rich knew he would not and could not win the race but embraced the adventure. Quite apart from the gripping story of the race itself was how surprised, mystified he was by the French people. He learned something about himself because he was open to see what was around him.
His adventure was for all the right reasons.
What is so mysterious about the French?
