Today’s episode features Cyril Derreumaux. Cyril is fresh off his successful quest to be the first person to cross from California to Hawaii by kayak using 100% human power. In this episode he shares a lot about his preparation and the personal experience of making this trip. Planning, more planning, pain, perseverance, it’s all in this trip.
I caught up with Cyril as he was driving from San Diego, California, where he had just picked up his boat Valentine and was trailering her back to San Francisco. He stopped his trip to accommodate the recording, but you may pick up a little background noise.
Enjoy today’s episode with Cyril Derreumaux!
