9:00pm Apparently I am obviously drunk! I am not drunk I am just getting in the football spirit. 9:45pm We have found a Mexican stream to watch. Mexican television has interesting male potency pill advertisements during ad breaks. 9:58pm Mexican TV has some interesting advertisements for debt relief. Who knew getting debt relief could be […]
I have not seen as much of Malta as I would have liked. It is a petite place but work commitments have stifled any real exploring other than my round of golf and some bar hopping on Saturday night. Last night under the command of Uncle Phil we set off to play pool. As implied […]
I was not planning on playing much golf this year. But about halfway into my first navigational watch I made a startling discovery. Our Captain is really a golf fanatic who happens to drive a Super Yacht between courses of interest. He has his clubs stowed in a handy place and usually books course times […]
A quick recap with helpful bullet points for the powerpoint generation. Leaving on Italy on Tuesday turned into leaving Italy on Wednesday. We had mental weather. We had 40 knots blowing up our ass from Sicily . Our engine room recorded a 26 degree roll. At one point we did 22 knots down a wave(top […]
With a bit of luck we will leave Italy tomorrow for the immediate future. The timing of this exit is impeccable. On Wednesday the Sun moves into Aquarius. On Thursday we will arrive in Malta, next Monday will be my birthday. We will leave Malta after a week or so and head south towards Egypt, […]
Uncle Phil was filming this morning and had some good results. Firstly my Swedish is coming along very well. Secondly we got some footage of one of the real characters of the yard which has built our boat. His name is Patalani and he is easily the loudest Italian I have met. Enjoy his review […]
Nestled in northern Italy is the charming city of Verona. Quite how we got to Verona was one of those chance interactions which spontaneous travel blogs are made of. We were making a bedraggled retreat from Prague. Heavy traffic was making a mockery of our electronic companions estimated time of arrival for Viareggio and we […]
Where were we? We were driving to Prague. High speeds, snow and salt combine to form a delicious crust on ones windscreen. With our rental cars windscreen wiper water depleted and no visible way of opening the bonnet we stopped in a very quiet German town to find help. It took my legendary (useless at […]
If you were to take the quickest route from Viareggio to Prague; drive through the Brenner pass and Austria enter Germany and stop after about nine hours with a couple of meal breaks….. You would be in or very close to Regensburg. The first real discovery of Regensburg was that my Wife had long dormant […]
I hope you all had an excellent time where ever you are. Just a quick note to say we are alive and back in Viareggio. We had a wonderful time in Prague, stopped by Verona on our way home and feel rested and ready for 2010. I am happy to say in what has been […]
