The past three weeks I’ve been in Morocco for a Dutch tv game programme wich will be on television from August. For a change it had nothing to do with boats or water whatsoever. Pretty much the opposite of where you would expect me to be, I was in the sahara! Burning in 45degrees and breathing sand. It was a awesome experience on it’s own, but after two days I already missed the ocean and had seen more then enough of the endless sanddunes and little sandstorms sandblasting my skin. I wasn’t allowed to make any picture’s during the trip so we will all have to wait until August to see the captured moments of it.

I just got back to Guppy about two days ago. A huge difference coming from the sahara into New Zealand winter. I’m not a big fan of cold but for now I’m enjoying it as my bones are still cooling off. I’m gonna sail Guppy back to Whangarei this week as there’s not much to do in winter near Tutukaka.

While I was busy making television in the most remote places in Morocco my Dutch book has been Published, wich is pretty exiting. I had to write it in Dutch because of a contract I signed three years ago. There are a few English publishers willing to publish my book but don’t want to translate it. I still havn’t been able to find a translator that’s affordable for me so that will still have to wait a bit.
