French skipper Guirec Soud?e started his solo circumnavigation in 2014...his only companion, Monique! Watch the antics of the world's most travelled chicken below!



While a cat or a dog might be a fairly regular travelling companion for many long-term sailors, a chicken certainly isn?t!

Frenchman Guirec Soud?e, 24, teamed up with Monique in the Canary Islands after setting out on his adventures in his 1985 Scorpio Yvinec 9.

It was love at first sight and the pair have been inseparable since.

Monique, who generally lays one egg a day for the Breton native, has settled well to life at sea.

The pair have already crossed the Atlantic. Have spent time in the Caribbean, the skipper and his chicken have now sailed to Greenland where they are stopping before continuing their circumnavigation via the Northwest Passage.
