I am happily working on my boat, Now it finally starts looking good especially while we get a bit of sunshine as well. The halyards have been installed and I pumped up the fenders.
You know I also discovered that you can see the shallow places of the Grevelingen very well from the the top of Guppy’s mast. I climbed up both of her masts for inspection and took my camera with me so I can show you a few pictures taken from the top of Guppy’s mast.
Today Jessica Watson arrived back home in Sydney. Welcome home Jessica. A lot of people say that she did not make the record as she did not sail enough. But it is not about the amount of miles you made. According to The Guinness book of records you must have passed all meridians as well as the equator and as far as I know Jessica did this. Anyway she sailed non-stop around the world and this is an enormous achievement already. When I would have left last summer I could have been in Sydney by now and could have welcomed her with all the other thousands of people.
I go on summer camp with my school class now. That means a whole week no sailing! Means I have a lot to catch up when I am back.
