Šime has decided to start living his dream, which is to sail across the Atlantic, from France to Brazil (a journey of approximately 8000 kilometers), on a 6.5 meter boat, using only sails, and without any communication with the land. Cameras on the boat were the only witnesses of his 27 days of solitude at the remote deep blue.
