you are more interested in the passages than in the movie. how is that for simplifying it?? isnt a problem--some movies arent worthy of our time after such trivialities as ocean passages....
At 11:46am on April 07, 2010, LOLA gave Franc a gift…
Great! I hope he enjoys the book. He should be able to use the index to look up English words, phrases! Tell him to let me know how it works for him.
This is a nice site - it will be fun to explore and I will definitely mention it to other friends.
By the way, Imray is now carrying the new edition, so it should be easier to get in Europe.
Happy New Year and what's going on? I see you heard from Bill and that he successfully made it south. All good news.
Keep me apprised of plans, and also let me know what teWEB sites were that you used or getting wind info. Cayo Mio is hopefully going to be back sailing soon. The repairs have take much more time and effort than I ever imagined.
Franc, Sorry for the late reply. WiFi hasn't been the best and then my girl friend came for a few days - I guess during those days my mind was elsewhere :) I'm currently in Charleston, SC. I stayed here over the Holidays so I could have my visitor. I'll be leaving either tomorrow or Tuesday depending on the weather. From here the plan is to hop off shore to Amelia Island and then to do coastal day hops. I want to spend some time in the Keys so Jan and Feb the boat will be there - then hopefully up to the Bahamas. Hope your plans continue to be successful. ...Bill
Sorry I saw your message now! I think it is to late. If you still need some information about Bodrum, please let me know by personal meassage so I get a email. I highly canrecommend my friend Udo Hinnerkopf at http://www.gulet-holiday.com/ He owns a sailsboat himself and is living in this area for many year.
Thank you Frank, I hope I can able to sail other side of the atlantic ocean one day.
I have added a photo on leaving Marmaris you can see Marmaris at the background, it is a deatiled picture, even a Turkish naval ship visiting on our republic day on this October can be seen.
I am planning to add some more pictures on Marmaris bays and also some info on them.
Franc, mi OC43 aguarda el termino de los huracanos para venir para Brasil. Dos otros amigos (OC40 y OC43) estan en ruta de Charleston asta Bermuda, y sufrieram una severa falla en el ruddr post bearings. No estamos seguros con la informacion, pero parece que Francia cambio el rudder collar por un "U" hecho de madera, filled con epoxy. Que passa es que descobrimos que por un error de produccion, Beneteau US no esta'poniendo el Epoxy. Entonces el rudder bearing si encontra con solamente un colar de madera. El OC43 (hull #66), almost tuve su leme perdido, y felismente estaban cerca de Hamilton y procederam al reparo. De una mirada en nuestro post en Sailnet Beneteau, y principalmente pide a alguen mirar su rudder post. Una vez que se confirme al problema, pediremos a Beneteau una respuesta oficial.
Franc, it's very cool that you are from Barcelona.
All the places we went were when there were regattas. The boat I was on primarily was a 40' Farr named Ramel-Dos, owned by Manuel Martinez who owned the company RAMEL. Big company! The boat's maintenance port was El Masnou, where Toni Tio has a sail loft, and we often kept the boat at RCNB. Antonio Gorostegui from Santander was the skipper, and Juan Vila (Catala') was the navigator/mainsheet trimmer. We were on the Spanish National Team at the Sardinia Cup and 1-ton Worlds. Another fantastic series we did was La Vuelta de Espan~a, which we won. The ports on that regatta were, Santander for reassembly, near Bilbao for the start, Vigo, Lisboa, Puerto de Santa Maria (Cadiz), Estipona, Valencia, Sitges and finish in Palma. That was a great race and unbelievably fantastic party ashore at all the stops. And we won. And Ramel-Uno (Vicieras design) was chartered by Hola magazine. Hola Magazine hired an all female crew to race the boat. WE, had a great time!
We probably stopped at nearly every port along the coast North of Barcelona as far up as Loret de Mar or maybe Palamo's and only Sitges south of Barcelonas. We often were racing in Palma and I almost always stopped over in Andraitx
Also another Catalan I raced with was Pepin Gonzales, a great yacht designer and builder.
Franc, thanks for bringing back the memories.
You are in NYC now?
No, my Catalan is rock bottom.
The only two languages I'll admit to being able to speak is English (naturally) and Maritime Spanish. Regular Spanish is OK, French & Portuguese are next but I'll study for a month before a trip where I'll need to speak those languages.in 1986-88 I lived in Barcelona, El Masnou and Palma Mallorca, and 1/2 our race crew was Catalan. A few of the ships commands were in Catalan because of fewer and shorter words needed, and I would order food and drinks in Catalan when in Catalan owned restaurants. The boatyard in El Masnou was Catalan, so there was another opportunity to understand that language.
Therefore languages are a hobby and I probably spend at least 20 hrs a month reading and studying languages, mostly French & Italian these days for some planned travel in the next two years, but I dabble in a few others to help my perspective and thinking globally.
In my library I have Spanish-Catala', Spanish-Portugues, & Spanish-French dictionaries.
I guess I need a Spanish-Italian dictionary next. And the internet has taken over as a resource for languages.
When I saw David Comes Lorenzo's cute cute baby, I couldn't resist celebrating him with a congratulatory greeting in Catala'.
Did you spend any time in Catalunya?

It was a pleasure meeting you and Andrea this weekend. Now I understand why our boat came to us with such loving, wonderful, and positive vibes!
