A year on the Atlantic to open your eyes to the world and to others.
How does a project come to life? What drives us to signal and exit the motorway? Is it a trigger, a moment of clarity? Or is it, on the contrary, a slow shift in course? One day, Martin and Aïda make two decisions: to have a baby and to spend a year sailing the Atlantic. Gradually, they leave their jobs, sell their apartment, and buy Yuzu, their boat. A child is born, and already it is time to set sail. With a small crew, they hoist the sails. From Lorient to the Caribbean, a year in suspension, guided by the moods of the weather, the harshness of the waves, the beauty of the landscapes, and the desire to live together.
In his latest work, Martin Dumont returns to writing about the sea and sailing. In this personal account written like a novel, he takes us into the remarkable adventure he allowed himself to live, and invites us to look at nature with wonder, despite its fragility.
A text that questions our daily lives, the dreams of escape that inhabit them, and our relationship with the world.
