Julien Mevel: “To answer your question, there were, I would say, two, three moments that were difficult for me. The first one was in Akamas, because when you pass a cape, everything changes, the current, the wind, the swirl, every little detail can make a big difference. There were still 10 or 12 kilometers to go and I started to doubt myself. The second time was the cape in Paphos. I was so tired, and the wind at some point was completely against me. But, the biggest fear I had was around Akrotiri cape. I was notified by the British bases that I couldn’t put my foot on the base because they were doing military exercises. But knowing that I could not step foot on shore, made me once again doubt myself, fear came flooding in and this whole challenge seemed impossible”.
