Here is our skipper Andrea, facing the storm... |
| Before sailing into the open sea. Here we are, Andrea and me, aboard the yatch we rented to make the drawing... Now, this was quite a journey, because we encountered a storm that made our computer fail.... so literally we were forced to navigate with the aid of navigational charts and the GPS's... marking points and following them until our safety was at risk (at that point we decided to return to the bay and the marina), fourteen hours after this picture was taken!.... for any of you looking for epiphanies, this is one I truly recommend!... |
