My cousin finds Lati's sign in Horta, in the Azores

20 July 2015
Imagine my surprise to find photos of my cousin Hans and his wife Liesbeth posed next to the sign I painted for Lati in Horta exactly 3 years ago on my facebook page. They are on holiday from Holland enjoying these beautiful Portuguese islands in the middle of the North Atlantic.

Such a lot has happened since we took 25 days to reach the Azores from the Caribbean on 31ft Lati. We've had 3 wonderful summers cruising the Med and undergoing boat repairs in exotic locations. Now she is being enjoyed by her new owner currently in Sardinia about to head for France.

'Memories are better than things' said a cruising friend once and this I believe is true. Our memories and pictures of Lati's adventures will all be in a beautiful book soon. So stay tuned.
