Photo story of my Atlantic crossing

[thalassobiote]

Hello all,
I hope this is the right section where to post this.
I recently uploaded two (out of total six) galleries with photos and videos about a recent crossing from Dom.Republic to France via Bermudas/Azores been made with a rusty 30feet made in Holland in 1962.

I was skipper, not owner.

Here is the link

Click on the square icons on top of the post to access the gallery.
Sorry, captions on the pictures are in Italian.

Hope you like it
Comments are appreciated!

Thanks
Please note that the complete crossing will be described in 6galleries and only two out of these 6 are now online

Very nice...and inspiring. Thank you for letting us in on your adventure.

[thalassobiote]

The third gallery is online right now.

Very nice story alltogether. Rusty she might be but seems to me quite a sturdy boat. Was this just a delivery job?

[thalassobiote]

Yes it was.

Thanks. I am sorry that captions are in Italian. I choosed my native language because in this moment the blog is having good visibility in Italy. Introductions to galleries are double language but as soon as I'll start blogging from the field I will go back to the full English formula.

Keep following if you'd like!

I will do. I am a solosailor myself. So I like these stories. I speak French and with a bit of deduction I can read the main lines.

Good exercise, trying to go out of the safe rails of English sometimes

Google Chrome translates it for me...


And I attached a Translator to my own Website that will translate into over 80 Languages...
