Not so alone…
If Use It Again! team is the only boat these days in the channels of Patagonia, for a few hours, a whale has been invited to the party.
"We have been in the Patagonian fjords for more than three days. We managed to stop the boat yesterday with a little wind and contrary current, it was flat calm, absolute silence. It's quite an adventure and quite surreal to be there, but that's also the great challenge of the Westabout World Record: knowing how to wait for the right weather window. We feast on these exceptional landscapes, the snow-capped mountains, the glaciers… Absolute calm never exists on a boat so we take advantage of it. This morning, a whale came to blow in my ears. I lit her breath with a torch, we had already guessed her in the bay for 24 hours. It's just amazing! I can't wait to hear what this will do for the hydrophone, the microphone that allows us to record the underwater noises of our Upside-Down Round the World. Thanks to these data, scientists to establish the first sound mapping of the oceans. Good day to all”, Romain.
