Everything is back in its place, the MiniCat, the dinghy, my bike is onboard and I cleared things inside Guppy’s cabin so that not everything will fly around once I am sailing on the open sea again! At the yachtclub I met someone who also owns a catamaran but a bigger one, a Hobiecat made from polyester. In the afternoon we rigged it up together and then we sailed around the whole island on it. That was really cool! We almost capsized once but most of the time we sailed mega-fast. In the end when we returned, I was so exhausted that I decided not to go to the dance festival again since I already had seen it once. Instead I enjoyed some quite time aboard Guppy playing guitar and reading. Today I sail out towards Niue, which is a 1050 nautical miles journey or so [1945 kilometres or 1209 land miles]. But before I go I have to be wide awake and I also have to meet for a last breakfast with all the friends that I have made here. Then I will let go of the mooring rope and hoist the sails.
