After five days aboard Yes We Cam !, Jean Le Cam's boat, Kevin Escoffier was picked up by the French Navy, overnight from Saturday to Sunday.
The Saint-Malo skipper had been saved by the “King Jean” at the beginning of the week after his monohull PRB had sunk.
The oldest Vendée Globe (61) did not forget to film the departure of his “stowaway” north of the Crozet archipelago.
After giving a kiss to his Saint-Bernard des mers, Escoffier jumped into the water.
"You don't need an end, you go nature", told him Le Cam (6th in the standings) while the Malouin, equipped with a survival suit, was considering taking a rope to ensure the blow. .
He only stayed in the water for a few seconds, quickly recovered by the boat that came to get him.
