Some interesting sailing facts

Because of the pregnancy it is not possible anymore to sail as a crewmember aboard the 'Altopana' during the matches.
I'm now officially downgraded to the Altopana Shore Crew.
That means most of the time that I'm still fit enough to sail the boat together with Antonio to the place of the matches. During the matches I am the one making pictures and video's during the matches from the mainland.


During our cross-over to a sailing competition we sometimes get unusual hitch-hikers.








Two weeks later........is this the same bird?























Another fact:I still get to do the after racing drinks with the crew with the slight difference of me drinking juice instead of Rum & Coke.

There is another fact about the composition of the crew. Until recently we had an 50% male/ 50% female crew. This has now been changed into an all-male crew, due tot the fact that all the women of our team are currently pregnant. There might be some rumors in the little world of competitive sailing of the First 31.7 sailers about Antonio being a young Latino/Dutch shipper with his own crew of which all of the women happened to get pregnant.





Unfortunately Mariana Reyes was not present the day we made the picture.
