A sea, the Mediterranean, a principality, Monaco, theater of the
departure and the arrival, and a capital buckle of 14000 km,
bordering 19 countries, divided in 100 steps and 45 days of sea:
such is his dream become project, him " Jetski
Mediterranean Tower", a personal sporty challenge that should
transform in principle himself in race of staying.

engineer computerist and sporty all piece of land (swimming, surfing,
Jetski, American football...) living to Cape of garlic, confess
to be guided besides by the mind of Thierry Sabine.

will border in international water, either to more of 12 nautical
miles of the coasts, the African European, north beaches, of the
Middle Orient, until the Greek island of Rhodes, Balkan then the
Italian peninsula for a return in Principality of Monaco by Corsica
45 days after the departure", retail the initiator of this contest "
human, sporty, but also environmental. Because, on the one hand,
that will happen in high seas, in order to not to disrupt the
ecosystems of proximity. And then I will make my tower of
recognition to the handlebar of a Yamaha FX 160 of series, of which
the motor 4 times invoke very few aural nuisances and navy waves. "
Strong of his 20 years of intensive practice staked out well
of numerous crossings negotiated (Monaco-Portofino, Monaco-Calvi,
Monaco-Marseille...), Philippe Ouakil is decided therefore to engage

km more per day. " It represents 8 at 10 o'clock of navigation,
according to the statement of the sea, to 50 km/h of average.
Of
course, an unit of aid will follow me in order to assure the
logistics. A perfect physical condition is necessary therefore.
Alas,
a problem of health stopped me from fulfilling my reco last month in
solo as anticipated. Then, this one will take place in June 2006 and
the first edition of the race, where I hope to unite at least about
thirty participants, will also be differed of one year in 2007",
concludes this knight of the streams reinforced in his
enterprise by the encouragements of SIEVE the Prince Albert of
Monaco.
