BBQ in Nuuk

Not much happens during the day, after breakfast I head back to my room for a snooze and some tv.  In the evening peter and Myself head into town and have beer at Daddy's before we are picked by Jens to have dinner at his house.  We met Jen's through Juergen at Ilulusut.

Bay of Biscay - Prison Boat Bluejay Conclusion

 Draft 1 Conclusion Was it worth it? Not really sure! Did I learn anything? Not really (well that is with regards sailing anyway, which is a shame as I have a lot to learn). However the skip didn’t really make an atmosphere conducive to learning, and didn’t allow us to make our own decisions and mistakes.  We should have been allowed to skipper the boat / sail the boat at some time during the second half.

Matt & Maria’s Trip to Sri Lanka 2018 - Part 4
