Launch of The History & Explorations grant
Eric is contributing to the creation of La Guilde's new History & Explorations grant, supported by Hubert Sagnières. It will support projects with a historical dimension that seek to understand the past in order to better project themselves into the future. Total funding for one or more projects: €15,000.

Sinking of the Manguier
The Manguier, on board which we sailed through the North-East Passage in 2009, and met in 2019 at Akunnaaq, sank in Greenland on December 13, 2024. A call for donations is on going to refloat the vessel.
Best wishes for 2025!
