Looking back at a fantastic adventure with much wildlife (seal, otter, bottle nose dolphin, common dolphin, porpoise, puffin, shear-water, gannet, razorbills, etc), top scenery (e.g. fluorescent sea off IJmuiden, Dunnottar Castle, kyle of Tongue, Suilvan mountain, loch Nevis, Sky, Mull, the Mull on Kintyre, east Dunmore, Falmouth bay, moonlit night in Fastnet), tough sailing, smooth sailing, poker nights, too many drinks, town excursions, crab dinner, uno nights, calm nights at anchor, wild nights in squalls and many many fun dinners. Thank you all!
This 'production' was made possible, and much fun, thanks to the efforts made and logistic nightmares endured by: Charles, Frits, Jan-Willem, Joost, Matthew, Pieter, Scott, Rene and Robert. Thank you for coming along, for helping to keep the boat in top condition (NOTHING broke!!) and for taking on all challenges (the weather, your skipper..) in good humored way.
Pretty much the same great many thanks to the ladies: Ann, Hettie, Julia and Sophie. Plus special ladies-thanks for coming along on the ride, upping culinary standards, spotting wildlife and being excellent co-skippers, jetty-expedition helms-woman, navigators and 2nd co-captains.
And now back to work....
p.s. Anybody in for a south-coast dessert in May or June next year? :)

Wow, raar idee dat het Rondje Engeland avontuur nu bijna afgesloten is. Maar wel fijn dat je weer bijna thuiskomt!
