Sailing Greats

Gibraltar 2016: At La Linea Marina - a discovery...

La Linea Marina

I had hoped this was the original "Joshua" (Moitessier).  It's not, but still a heart beating reminder of an inspirational sailor and boyhood hero. 

Then, more excitement in the Cape Verde Islands 2017:

Imagine a chance meeting at Mindelo Marina with sailing legend, Jimmy Cornell - such an inspiration!  We were docked at Mindelo Marina, at the time as his "Caribbean Odyssey" participants all sailed in.

Two Views of Cape Verdes

I couldn't stop taking photos when we took a day tour of Santo Antao.  Yes, we really did sail to the Cape Verdes and stopped for a few days in Mindelo Harbour on Sao Vicente, just across from Santo Antao.  All in all, exciting stuff!
