6:30am sharp we were in the saddle for another ride. As Rene had some morning commitments in town he kicked me off to tackle some uphill miles towards Sete Cidades before him turning back. Thank you!
It was a ride driven by some eye-catching weather.
After many attempts in the past, today morning Rene (skipper SY Momentum of Fal) and myself finally managed to get on a bike ride together. It was a short one as I am still careful with the hay fever being around. There are many things, which connect us besides riding Specialized bikes: Hallberg-Rassy and Asia! We never run out of subjects to chitchat. Not the last ride together, I hope.
Fair winds…
As sailors and live aboards you normally say “hello” to each other in different places following by “good-bye” shortly after. We are in contact while on the move but meeting in person at the time ships’ wakes are crossing itself gives the opportunity to update each other on the latest developments and sharing new sailor’s yarn within the community.
Yoshi has just completed solo sailing the North Atlantic Circle returning from the Caribbean. After missing him first time in Cuxhaven we made it in Porto Santo/Madeirea and Rubicon/Lanzarote last year. Based on our sailing plans there is a chance that we will meet again later this year.
Allways a pleasure!
Fair winds…
