Back to Normal? Well nearly… and here is why:

Finally, back to normal, back in our space, we even have already made a trip to the boat!

Wow! wait a minute here! Don’t you forget something? something really big is happening!…. It’s Prom week! Oh dear, a major “faux pas”, it is indeed our sweet 18 year old daughter’s prom, she is moving into [...]

Family trip or sharing the future.

The weather cooperated nearly all the way, and we had two days of perfect sailing. No wind over 15 knots (of course on the nose each way) but we were able to raise the sail and run engineless for a few hours. The sea was flat and made for a comfortable trip for our non [...]

First trip with the family.

Life is back on “track”, we catch-up with work. It’s time for the next couple of days, to go on a small cruise with V parents. First time we take somebody on an overnight trip. The weather seen to be willing to cooperate and we shall have a pleasant sail.

We haven’t seen the [...]

A few more pictures.

Just because we are back, doesn’t mean we have forgotten last week. We will post just a few more pictures, just to share this beautiful city Paris. We really enjoyed it while we lived there as a young couple and again this time around. At this moment we feel slightly overdosed with croissants and pains [...]

The last few days…

What a week, it was nice to see everybody after such a long time. We rediscovered the beauty of France and its food. We ate enough Foie gras for the next two years, drunk enough champagne for a few weeks and seen the old world history to refresh our memory bank, and fill up everything [...]

One week in Paris…..

What a pleasure to be back on our stepping ground. It is a true delight to spend few days, in the sunshine and relax with no responsibilities other than taking care of each other. The photos talk more than words to share our adventure, so please enjoy :

 

Just away for a short while: Gone on a fairly short cruise in the air!

Sorry for the silence in the last few days, but there is a good reason! Indeed, *V and I* are flying to go surprise my Dad’s 70th birthday and in order to keep it really secret we have to remain silent from the blog!!!

It is also a pretty cool excuse to take some [...]

The difference between a boat and a home.

A few days ago, our daughter complained that our blog is not fun it’s just about fixing things! True, there isn’t photos of nice bikinis, or white sandy beach or dolphins swimming at the bow…

However, before all that can happen we need to build our nest! And also as a reminder the purpose [...]

Sail drive cover and the never ending disappearing act.

This is one of the mysteries of the lagoon 380, the disappearing boot cover. They are located where the sail drive comes out of the hull, and have a tendency to get away on a regular basis! We have one that walked and we couldn’t figure how to replace it. This morning on the Yahoo [...]

Mother’s day or one month of Cruising budget

To find the motivations to work someday, you need to have a goal and earning one month of cruising budget was mine today. Don’t get me wrong, we do love our Mother but in our field of work it’s a crazy busy day to be polite! Those who don’t generally like to go out, do [...]
