Must be fun to hear captain Huusela welcoming you aboard this Finnair flight to somewhere when you fly on Finnair... probably the only airline in the world to have a VG finisher commanding one of its planes...

Bravo Ari ! Nice to see people came out in numbers to congratulate him...

Interesting to see how a school followed Kojiro in Japan... different cultures, but the same interest for adventures at sea.

Bravo Kojiro ! Nice to see Kojiro Shiraishi well surrounded when he finished, Bilou, Yannick Bestaven and Jean Le Cam were there to congratulate him...

If it had to be someone else, I'm glad its Louis.. I hope Armel gets another good boat for 2024.

The 15th to 20th group is pretty packed... will be quite a battle to the finish

Ari Huusela doing 20 kts at the back... speeding along

Amazing sunrise from Ari Huusela...

Great press conference... epic Jean
