MARC PARÉ RICO – 2ND PRO
I always wanted to go to Scotland because I had seen videos of Finn and Timo Mullen, Jamie Hancock and Ross Williams sailing there before and it looked amazing. So as soon as I knew that the PWA Maui event was not happening I started organizing everything to get there.
I started driving from Barcelona, then went to the north of Germany, Klitmøller in Denmark, Sylt (to do the World Cup) and then from Sylt I drove to Calais, where I got the ferry to Dover, then drove from Dover to Oban, where I got the ferry to Tiree! The whole trip felt like ages as I had to drive it all by myself. I drove 8560 kms, it’s quite a bit I guess ha ha ha. But it was actually really cool, as I discovered a lot of new places and met really cool people! I had one “funny” thing that happened to me on my way to Klitmøller. I was tired of driving so I stopped in a lay-by in Denmark after the border and I started sleeping. Suddenly I woke up and saw something similar to someone with the torch of a phone in my van, so I jumped out of the bed and I shouted “hey”, but when I got to the front part of the van there was nobody. I got so scared that I basically drove the whole night until I got to Klitmøller. I was probably just dreaming… but it scared the s*** out of me!!!
