Dick’s New Year’s Eve memories


Jean-Pierre Dick is about to spend his fifth New Year's Eve at sea, which brings back special memories for the tired Nice-based skipper: " My 12 fellow Vendée Globe skipper and I are so lucky to be at sea so far away from home, it makes for such a special New Year's Eve. I'll be looking at the stars and focusing on natural elements. I hope the moon will be there too, even though we haven't seen it that often lately. I remember spending New Year's Eve at sea, with a friend calling me for the countdown to the new year. It was a very tricky moment on board, with strong wind and tough sea, and the boat almost got out of control. But my friend was all about celebrating and partying, we were in two completely different worlds (he laughs) "
