Winter Sunset in North California

We sailors never get enough of them. Every single day I would watch it during every single passage i have done. And i will never get enough of them. No matter how cold, how the weather perform it is always a wonder. This one was on a cold February evening between SF and Santa Cruz.

Pierre and Family left

Well done. They left Los Angles yesterday for Peru. As i told Pierre they are doing small legs sailing during the day and staying in ports during the nights. The first day was difficult with wind in the nose. The kids were sicks. I just talked to them today. They arrived in Newport Beach. They had great sailing with good wind. The kids had an opportunity to steer. They loved. Nobody was sick.

Pierre and his family just showed up in my life.

This family of 5 just got a 1975 30ft sailing sloop to sail to Peru from Los Angeles.

Bold move from this young couple without a lot of sailing experience but the will to live a fearless life far from the insanity.

I support them and will welcome any support from our community.

They are preparing a blog. We will be able to follow their adventures.

Safe Investment (from MulthihllsWorld editor)

Safe investment...

The stock market is up and down like a yo-yo, oil reached a peak before collapsing, gold is out of fashion and all the experts forecast the bursting of the property bubble... In short, a difficult period is in store for all those with money to invest.

But what should we do?

Fortunately, your favourite magazine is here to advise you and give you the information you were all waiting for: there is one safe investment which is really effective, the real one, the one that lasts overtime – the ‘pleasure investment’...

So enjoy your life, buy yourself a boat and set off with your family or your friends. At the last judgement, it will go in your favour if you have done some good around you and taken full advantageof your life... And isn’t this finally the only real investment that it is right to get a return on?

Unvaluable experiences when traveling.

One of my most valuable memory of my summer trip was to witness these old Kunas ladies performing a shamanic ceremony during happy hours in San Blas far from the noise and the youngest. What did they prey for? What did they say? I will never know but some how I could capture this moment and I felt so close to them.
It was magic. I invite you to travel and to meet the World we are living in. Stay away from the crowed touristic area. Go out and experience the magic.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009. HAPPY SAILING.

Viva 2009. Appreciation is my 2009 "motto". Every single of our breath should be enjoy as it is our last.
Live Well.
