Viktória and Gábor Rakonczai were waved off from outside the National Theatre on Thursday as they began their mission to sail around the world in their own boat in one year.

 

The couple's aim is to draw attention to environmental issues and the importance of nature. They crossed the Atlantic Ocean in a rowing boat three years ago.
