Trip to the Reflection of Moon.















Hola Amigos,


My adventure started in 2006 afther a phone call of a friend.He invited me to sail with the lovely Fiddlers Green.This is a wonderfull square scooner.Owend by Doug a fabulouse australian dude.
I had the oportunity to sail with him and his wonderfull crew.On the 10 of june 2006 from Amsterdam to Lisboa. This became a trip of a month.No engines onley the wind would bring us somewhere.What was for me a trip of a life time.
The onley boat I sailt before was an Optimist when I was 12 years young.
And suddenley Im there on this clasical beauty.Ready to set sail to places wilder than I dreamd of.Wat a moments never to forget.
When I came back home in Barcelona things changed completely .
I started to clean boats in Platja d'aro.Untill Thomas called me in Oktober to ask if I was interested to sail with him in November to the caribbean.Not a moment I hasitade .So there I went again .Up to Tenerife where I meet the boat.This time an Oyster 54ft.A beautiful boat it was.And this baby will bring us all the way to the other site of the Atlantic.So there we went with a crew of 6 on the 14 of November.Sails up to Cabo Verde and from ther to Antigua.We arived there the 4 of December.Over there I did a lot of day jobs,one delivery from Sint Maarten to Antigua.This was so nice .I was in a small Beneteaux sailing up wind all night long.
Amazing.I went for my STCW95. A week later I was sailing on the S/Y Livet.Then we where the 14 of january.This boat was something special.A 82ft steel mama.Function,Rehabilitation project for 3 Danish Kids.On this one I sailt from north to south caribbean for tree months as first mate social worker and much more.Very special job that not even is a job but a beautiful program to bring jongsters back on a good track.

From Trinidad I flew back home on the 9 of April.To take a nice brake.
Now 1 of july Im ready again to sail away.

Thanx for reading.The book with a finer story will come out somwhere this life time.
Big smiles.
