Energy Balance: from Nassau to Fort-de-France
Our catamaran left the Bahamas on 15th July to set sail for Martinique, where she arrived on 28th July. A navigation of more than 1,500 miles carried out in one go with difficult weather conditions.

Facing winds, currents and slaloming between tropical storms and cyclones, our vessel arrived safely in Martinique! A new challenge that allowed us to test the vessel over several days in close quarters conditions and to optimize the maritime routing system.

“Congratulations to the crew, who are undoubtedly experiencing one of the most complex and difficult navigations since the Odyssey began.”
