Description
"Hold on, I'm changing tack!" : since the start of the Vendée Globe at the beginning of November, 71-year-old Bernard Poitau has pulled anchor on his boat and although the sound of waves echoes on his tablet, there's no water on the horizon. Now retired, the former civil servant in France's Ministry of Justice has set himself a challenge: to virtually follow the Vendée Globe for two months single-handed from a boat set up at the bottom of his garden. He hopes to raise awareness of the conditions in which asylum seekers cross the Mediterranean. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
