I'm obsessed with this! But part of me is like, how much of this was "I need a companion" and how much was "a chicken will make this an EPIC story"? No shade, it IS epic!
Absolute madness.
I'm glad the guy did okay-- it's nice that so many unwise decisions didn't lead to total disaster, and makes for a great story... but I certainly hope no one tries to emulate this. Almost seems irresponsible to promote in the current social media climate. He's lucky to be alive.
Me and my children follow Guirec since its first adventures with Monique when he first sailed through the Northwest Passage.
He later crossed the Atlantic by rowing, back and forth, and this year he did the Vendée Globe race.
This guy's determination and dedication is insane.
Hei hei?
This reminds me of this guy, who's doing the same, but with a pet cat. A very inspiring story. Instagram shows he just reached his first destination, Hawaii! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVNJIZs5aEs
There is videos of them as well somewhere online, where they hang out, surf and so forth. Great story!
Wanted to like the guy but he owns a private island? Dude definitely has never worked a day in his life.
Always consider your travel companions as a potential source of proteins if things turn to shit!
How could the eggs be of much nutritional value with the limited diet the chicken gets on the ship?
I was skimming and read this as "on a chicken". Not sure how that would work.
If someone could work out a way to produce chickens that can be reliably toilet-trained they would make great pets.
They're pretty smart, can be very friendly and (not many people know this) they actually smell nice - kind of like a new puppy smell.
