Hello all!
I am just back from a great weekend in St Nazaire with ROXY and the Roxy Boys, taking part in the festivities at the start of the Solidaire du Chocolate double-handed transat race for the Class 40s.
We went out sailing - great weather, albeit a bit light wind - both days with some great guests. We also got a personal guided tour of the great square rigger the "Belem" who was there to celebrate the race too (she was originally a chocolate-carrying ship!)
Personally it is an emotional weekend, as this was my last sail on board Roxy as she is now up for sale and I have no more opportuities to sail her. I spent a little moment alone at the chart table remembering all the great times I have had sailing Roxy and I hope she will find a new skipper very soon....
I can't be too sad though as my time with Roxy was AMAZING and now I am already skippering my new "machine" ARTEMIS and thoroughly enjoying it! The Transat Jacques Vabre Race is coming up too quickly. Tomorrow, Tuesday and Wednesday are our last official training days before finishing the last race preparations....
More news from training ASAP as long as I'm not too tired to tap on my keyboard!
