We met in Barcelona at Port Vell on Marc and Christina’s yacht earlier this year. Our boat is Arctura and was a few berths away from where you were moored. We have been following your blog with interest and are very glad you guys made it safe and sound to Martinique. Two years ago I crossed the Atlantic with the ARC so it all brings back happy memories. Lovely pictures and keep on blogging. Perhaps we will meet again in some remote place in a few years?
Hi guys! Of course we remember our meeting in Barcelona!
I hope we will meet again someday, sailing.
Thank you a lot for sailing with us and until we meet again we wish you Merry Christmas and a very happy new year!
Felicitari dragilor pentru eroica traversae a Atlanticului, maiestria pescarului, maiestria bucatarului, dar mai cu seama pentru aptitudinile de catarator in conditii dramatice ale celui mai important membru al echipajului, mai exact… PAUL !
