It's Official

It's a sad but good thing, we no longer own GHOST. She is now owned by an architect in Sydney who has plans of sailing the South Pacific once again.

Reality bites!!

It's been a while since we updated the blog. Apologies for that but we've been busy fighting off the onslaught of reality, not really wanting to admit it's over! After arriving it was the welcome party in Sydney, followed by a hectic week of moving ALL our personal stuff off GHOST. On a side note, it [...]

Welcome to Sydney GHOST

Well it was a brilliantly sunny day as we set off from Pittwater in GHOST, entering the Sydney heads about lunchtime. It was a pretty emotional sail through this iconic harbour which Brad has envisaged sailing into as long as he's dreamt of sailing home to Australia. Soon we were pulling up to the [...]

The Italian way...Spritz Cocktail at the sunset in Las Palmas!!

Ciao amici!!!

...-2 days to the gun!!!

The excitement is raising up constantly. Today we've finished some small jobs like sawing [sewing] the mainsail, fixing a batten, connecting the gas, sawing [sewing] the sofa cover,....but the real main one has been to wash, clean and store all the fresh vegetables!!! Great fun in [on] a sunny day on the busy pontoon of the febrile [feverish?] preparation...Sorry, I was forgiving [forgetting] the outstanding job that Jay did cleaning the bottom of the Ghost in the [his] full diving gear...now we're ready to race dudes!!!
Going back to the Italian way I wanna mention the fact that we are having on board a typical north Italian cocktail called 'Spritz' (2/3 Aperol+1/3 Prosecco+1 drop of water...), It has been served chilled at 6.30pm together with a green olive and possibly a good bruschetta as apetizer. We had a couple of amazing happy hours but unfortunately our Aperol provisions are almost gone!!...can someone help about [out] from the mother land?????...maybe shipping with UPS a dozen of bottle of 'chel bon' (as we say in Treviso..)...Oh well, if it's not possible we'll survive 'English way' sipping some Gin[and]Tonic and in this case the provisions are way bigger thanks to our captain Brad...!

Baci a tutti! (kisses to everybody)
Stevanin

P.S. why people is correcting my English.....????!!!!(!"£$%^&*"£$%^&*)
