This weekend were the formula 1 cars racing in the streets of the city of Rotterdam.
I could hear them very loud at home.
People did everything to see them going

It appears to be that it was a very wise decision to sail away from Jolly Harbour, to a save place.
Tropical strom Dean is becomming a hurricane and is on its way to Antigua. You don’t want to be there when it hits ground. We phoned to friends over there, but they are not verry worried although people are taking precausions.

It looks like it is passing Curacao and the Grote Meid is save where it is.

Last Thursday afternoon I was back home. For the next months Curacao will be a safe haven for de Grote Meid. Panama was to far without the mainsail working and aspecially going back from Panama is not a pleasant sailingtrip so Paul decided to stay in Curacao.

Here is a GoogleEarth picture with parts of the route we did sail. I managed to get my GPS working at the end. Look at the yellow line.

Of course we started at Antigua but I lost those data. So the line is not complete.
