The Maestro, Andrea Francolini, went out on the maxi Beau Geste during a training session. Glorious conditions greeted the crew on Monday, December 11, as they went through their routines, including setting of gear for fresh conditions. Andrea shares his vision of life on board - many thanks to him and the crew of Beau Geste for letting us see what it is all about.
