Sequentia
Sun 12 Nov 2017 15:49
Las Palmas November 12th: close to 200 sailing boats are getting ready to cross the Atlantic with expected arrival into St.Lucia in 18-21 days (early December weather permitting). Rum punch served on the finish line.

Background: Sequentia sailed from Ermioni/Greece July 28th visiting Malta, Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza, Formentera, Spanish coast from Villa Joyosa to Gibraltar and a visit to Mohammedia to check the LPG discharging of Gas Leo and to remind me of the business I was involved in for 20 years and that its business as usual, before arriving Las Palmas October 11th more than 2000 NM.

This coming week will be filled with opening parade with all the different nations represented, work shops, seminars, sun downers, provisioning, parties, mingling, more sundowners, safety inspection and much more.....
