“Ka mamae ahau ki nga wahanga katoa o toku tinana.He toto to oku maihao katoa, kua maru oku waewae me oku uaua.Kare au i te mohio kua pa ki ahau tera momo whara, engari ae!!!!kēmu.
I te whakataetae a Alan Roura me La Fabrique i runga i te Vendee Globe i te tau 2016, me huri e ia te urungi i runga i tenei kaipuke ki tetahi waahi tino rite.I korero ahau ki a Alan mo tenei korero ka miharo ahau.Ka taea e ia te huri i te urungi i te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa.Kaore e taea e au te whakaaro he pehea te uaua.I runga i tana korero, i hanga e au he urungi mo te reihi me Joff.E rua wiki i mua i te wehenga atu, i parakatihi ahau i te tikanga whakarereke i te urungi i Sables D'Olonnes.Heoi, i nga wa katoa ka whakaaro ahau ki te huri a Allen i te urungi i te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa, ka whakaaro ahau mena ka taea e au.
I mataku ahau me te awangawanga inanahi.Ko enei ahuatanga kei tawhiti atu i te pai, te pupuhi koi, a he paku paku i waenga i nga awha matapae.I korerohia e ahau nga tikanga katoa ki a Joff raua ko Paul.Ko te mea nui ko te whakaroa i te poti kia uru mai te urungi, katahi ka tau te poti ki runga i te rakau urungi, ka kino nga mea e rua.I te mutunga, ka puta te hau o te 16-18 knots ki runga i taku tuara, ka kitea he kohao.
Ki taku whakaaro he kotahi haora me te hawhe te mahi katoa, a he nui te wa ki te whakarite me te whakarite.Kei toku mangai tonu toku ngakau.I oma ahau ki te taha o te cockpit, ki te wini, ki te kumea taura, ki te peke i te kei ki te hopu, ki te toia, ki te hapai, ki te taura urungi me nga mekameka punga.Ina u ana ahau ki te mahi i tenei, kare he arai.Te vai ra te tahi mau taime fifi i titauhia ia'u ia taparu i te tahi mau taime i ni'ai te poti e i te moana, tera râ, i te taime a ti'a mai ai te reni apî i ni'ai te rahora'a, mea ohie roa ia faaroo i te haruru rahi mai ia'u.Huri noa… mena kua tae mai tetahi ki reira.
Kua hoki mai ahau ki roto i te keemu inaianei, e pupuhi ana te hau, e haruru ana a Medallia i te 15 knots, kare au e whakapono kua mahia e au.
I kii tonu ahau ko tetahi mea i kukume i ahau ki te rere mokemoke hei hakinakina ko te mea i tino pai ake ahau.I te wa ko koe anake i te moana, kaore he whiringa ngawari.Me aro atu koe ki ia raru ka rapua he otinga mai i roto.Ko tenei whakataetae e wero ana i te tikanga o te tangata i nga taumata katoa, a ka kaha taatau ki te mahi me te mahi whakamiharo i ia taumata.Ka kite koe i tenei i roto i te roopu katoa, na te mea kei te raru ia kapene i ona ake raru i muri i nga ra 60 o te reihi, a kei te whakapau kaha tatou katoa ki te pupuri i te ahua o te reihi.E whakanuia ana ahau ki tetahi o tenei nama.E whakanuia ana ahau kia noho hei heramana kotahi ki te whakataetae Vendee Globe.
