In a bit more than 24 hours, the adventure will be over. Feelings, shared emotion, pictures, some will be remembered, others forgotten. Everything that makes an expedition, with a man in the background, solitary, but standing by a team who has always believed in him. Today, all in intensity, Serge has finished his last but one day. A crossing completed, but the story isn’t finished for all that. What will remain of these figures listed as the days went by. , more likely a record than a challenge!!!! Tomorrow, to a special event a special day. Things will get rather tense around Copacabana. For the first time, the team split up. Some at the start, the others at the arrival. A day which will be filled with emotion, Serge will meet his family. He knows it and has been preparing himself for a long time.
