On my way again

Unbelievable. At the 11th nay 12th hour, I was selected to compete in the 2022 J/70 World Championship regatta, in Monaco. What an honor. How awesome!

I had a Covid-caused opportunity to sail in the J/70 Worlds last summer, held in Marina Del Rey, California (lA), but to be invited again, in Europe, is something else.

Starting line in Marina Del Rey – 80+ J/70s!

Will be sailing with my good friend Fede Madrid on his new J/70, “Oulier”. You may remember meeting Fede when I did in his home town of Barcelona last June. At that time I learned of his coming boat, and we talked about this possibility, but it seemed far fetched.

Our mighty steed – “Outlier”

Meeting a friend from Barcelona to sail in a Worlds in Monaco sounds like a James Bond movie, right? Shaken, not stirred please….

And Monaco… yay.

Well please stay tuned; tomorrow I will be off – to Nice via Warsaw! – and I will ask myself…
