Qué cubre este vídeo

Adriano Plotzky, sailing aboard the Dyne, met a French sailor named Christophe in Curaçao — a heavyset man who sat motionless in a chair, chain-smoking, and barely moved to greet visitors.▶ 0:45 When Plotzky boarded, he saw why: Christophe's legs were riddled with lesions exposing bone, and his hands shook constantly.▶ 1:32 A daily pill organizer packed with medications kept him going.▶ 2:20 Only over dinner in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia — where Christophe arrived with his wife Silvia — did the full story emerge.▶ 3:26 Christophe had run a Paris advertising agency, competed in two editions of what is now the Volvo Ocean Race, and completed three solo transatlantic races.▶ 4:13 After his brother was killed by a bus, a degenerative neurological disease appeared and began destroying his muscles and nervous system.▶ 4:37 Doctors told him the medications only prolonged the suffering.▶ 4:43 He bought the catamaran with one goal: to die in French Polynesia.▶ 4:43 He never reached it, dying in San Blas on December 31 of that year.▶ 5:06 Plotzky recalls him as someone who never complained — only his eyes lit up when he talked about sailing and his plans.▶ 4:43
