On The Sea Again…

last preps, full of the water tank, preparing sails, throwing away my now socially unbearable pants which disclose too for simple working pants, last coordinations and checks and then… start the engine, hoist sails and sail with an average of 5 knots (man, this hull is smooth as a baby bottom) direction Grande Anse…

JHVH

You sit behind a coffee shop which has a free internet zone (yeah, 12345….) and all of a sudden:” Excuse me, do you know JHVH, the name of the Lord? Well, yeah, sort of…
I realizt that the witnesses have found their way to this remote island (well, not very remote, but remoter than other places). So here are the rules:
