During her first Vendée Globe, Isabelle Joschke trained in sound recording so she could create a spoken logbook and document her round-the-world adventure despite the lack of sleep. Once back on dry land, the Franco-German skipper shared her incredible experience in the form of a podcast with the modest title “Alone at sea”.
