About this blog

I joined a new yacht (Jongert 26T 'Impression', for those who care!) in Panama as an engineer. The job actually came looking for me as i was on vacation in USA at the time. The fact that they were sailing through the Pacific won me over & i readily signed up. I had wanted to complete my initial plans to sail around the world and this would have allowed me to try close this crazy chapter of my life as a sailor!
