Urko González recounts a 17-year circumnavigation undertaken with his parents, Santiago and Marilli, and his brother, Sigor, beginning when he was nine years old.8:43 The family sailed a 12-meter vessel named Jotaque, initially rigged with two masts and Chinese-style sails.11:19 During the voyage, the crew performed various jobs in ports, including welding at a satellite launch base in French Guiana, to fund their travels.21:45 Navigation relied on traditional methods and outdated books before the adoption of GPS, which simplified longitude calculations.35:28 González notes the challenges of sailing in remote river systems, such as those near Manaus, where local knowledge proved essential for avoiding hazards like submerged crocodiles.30:20 The family eventually transitioned to a different boat for the latter portion of their journey. The discussion also touches on the broader maritime topics presented at the Babor nautical event in Irún, including the preservation of wooden shipwrecks, the therapeutic benefits of sailing, and recent expeditions to Antarctica.3:42
