Duotone Magazine No. 06

Safety measures Never go alone on a remote downwinder. At least make the trip as a couple. Take a mobile phone with you. On land, someone needs to know where you are. If possible, have a boat accompany you. Romain and Virgil took only the essentials for a one-night bivouac: a sleeping bag, a headlamp, a camping stove with some food, water and, above all, warm clothes.
