We’re sitting in the small propeller airplane on the way from Nuku Hiva to Tahiti, reflecting over our wonderful sailing adventure with Vinni and Carsten around and about the Marquesas. In the seat back in front of me is a magazine with an article about the Belgian singer Jacques Brel. In 1974 Brel…
The featured picture this time is for all our female readers – we thought you would enjoy this nice tight butt covered in tatoos………………………. The days pass slowly here in Paradise. We can almost always find something to work on, on the boat. We decided that after over 25,000 nautical miles, our old sails were…
