Leaving Holland with rain and low temperature and arriving in sunny Spain was a great start to our big adventure.

Let your neighbour-skippers climb up into your mast, next thing they invite you to join them on their trip from the south of Spain to Sardinia; that’s our story…

Tony awaited us at the airport with a warm welcome…and some narrow escapes in the parking garage… Aren’t they usually one way?

We survived and were again warmly welcomed on board of Tioram by Tina and her parents.  With Sangria and good company we toasted on undoubtedly a great sail together. That evening T&T treated us a nice pizza at the restaurant just across the street. Late at night Tina showed us all the food (that was a Lot!) and Tony did a true Purser-like safety instruction… But serious it gave us a very save idea, to know that T&T handle all safety on board at the highest level.

First Dutch word was learned by T&T: helmstok
