During this past week, a friend of ours generously offered us to come join in a race on his boat. Saddly *V* had to stay behind to take care of the *rest*, and of course was a bit disappointed… But not very often you get the opportunity to race as crew on a multihull, and [...] Realistically all cruiser knows that those boring tech post are just a cover up for our real life.
