Atlantic-Crossing Movie
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- Friends, followers, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from www.HaveWindWillTravel.com! A real treat for you here, available for the first time to my entire audience: my two-hour movie from our trans-Atlantic. For those of you who are new, Phillip and I had the good fortune to be invited as part of a four-member crew to cross the Atlantic, sailing from Florida to France, this past June on a 46’ catamaran and I created my first full-length film documenting our journey. I thought it would be a great way to kick off Season Five of our UA-cam channel which will be all about our TRAVELs, with our biggest voyage of 2016!
When Captain Yannick first met me (which was around the same time he agreed to let me make this tremendous voyage with him, brave guy), he had no idea who I was really, the kind of videos I made, my audience or how I might portray him and his family on film and, because he has plans to produce video documentaries of his own someday, he initially asked that I not share the movie publicly on UA-cam. Now, after having watched many of my videos, particularly the movie itself, and with a better understanding of the purpose of my platform (i.e., to help share the realities and rewards of a cruising lifestyle) Yannick graciously granted my renewed request to let me share it with my entire audience, for free on UA-cam.
So, kick back, make some hot cocoa, round up the last of the Christmas treats and enjoy the show while Phillip and I explore the vast historic castles, churches and smoky cigar holes in Cuba and work to get videos to you all from this incredible adventure as well as my sail to Isla Mujeres, Mexico this past November and our upcoming sail to Miami in February for the Miami Boat Show (we hope to see some of you there!). Thank Captain Yannick for inviting Phillip and I on this incredible voyage and letting me share the experience with you: a crew of four on a 46’ foot catamaran, thirty days at sea across the Atlantic Ocean. The perfect way to kick-off HaveWindWillTravel 2017!

Respect for Yannick on his problem solving skills, maintaining a calm demeanor and kudos to Annie for her positive vibes throughout the trip.
Best sleep I've ever had while out at sea during my yime in the Navy.
This kinda content, makes me rethink my life course!
Annie should have her own reality show. Beautiful & awesome girl.
I can't believe I watched the whole thing!! Your narrating/story telling really stood out to me. Great vid!
I can't believe you did either! Ha! Just kidding. So glad you enjoyed it!
Great adventure, nicely told , I felt like I was there !
It's scary how easily something could go wrong out there. You could have lost a shroud and then the mast. It takes a lot of courage to cross an ocean. I also have a crush on that beautiful lady. What a wonderful smile! Thanks for taking us along!
add this captain to the List of capable people. lol. Mcgiver award indeed. thumps up captain.
One important point you did not have to spell out is how your team spirit and resilience are exceptional. You seemed all to complete each other. This is way more important than non sailor realize over such a distance ..... It could have been HELL !
AND toutes mes félicitations à votre " Captain " Yannick... Un marin et réparateur extraordinaire !
He had a superb attitude overseeing at all times his boat.
Godspeed to all of you !
what an amazing adventure! that captain is a beast! hardly sleeping, always working, ensuring the safety of all,and making sure the cat gets to its final destination.
Cheers!
Walt
You're darn right. Hearty are the French. Yannick was an exceptional captain. We learned so much from him and were so grateful he allowed us to join his adventure. Thank you for watching!
Gulf of Mexico is the saltiest water of the big water areas on earth (Red Sea about the same) Summer very warm. Absolutely beautiful.
A good movie about a trans Atlantic voyage. The Azores section was my personal favorite. The stuff that wears out and fails or comes close to failure is thoughtful. Considering a voyage? Watch this more than once. It combines fun and resilience beautifully. (I have a few of those trips under my belt and admire Annie's work.) Norm on Averisera
Hey Norm. Thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment. I'm so glad you enjoyed the movie. I definitely had a lot of fun capturing and conveying the highs and lows. And (little secret) the Azores were definitely the highlight of the trip for me and Phillip. Really appreciate the thumbs up. Thanks Norm!
Loved watching your adventure and if anyone can take anything from this film, at least once in your life take yourself out of the comfort zone and explore this amazing planet. Peace
Stumbled across this, as you do on UA-cam.
I’m no sailor, never been on a sailing yacht/catamaran in my life but thoroughly enjoyed this one late Saturday night in the UK.
A fascinating insight!
Thank you! ⛵️
Thanks Yannick for sharing and your service. Thanks Annie and Phillip.
Thank you James. I know that will mean a lot to him. Appreciate it.
This was so insane to watch. I have to go sailing before I die. This was like a movie!
Annie: you did a FINE job documenting, filming and narrating the passage to France. You represented Yannick and the boat with the utmost respect and reverence. Congratulations on the film 30 Days Across the Atlantic. I'm sure Phillip, your family and friends are very proud of you. I'm following (on UA-cam) your journey to Cuba. Sail safely.
Wow, thank you Jennifer. That means a lot to me as a lot of time and effort went into the making of this film and I love to hear from folks who watch and really enjoy it. I'm so glad Yannick's perseverance could shine through. Hearty are the French! Merci!
Just finished watching the movie and it was simply spectacular. You did such a marvelous job of capturing the high and low points and bringing us right along with you as if we were actually sailing with the crew on the boat. Your dedication to the craft of producing these fine videos shines through. I have been following along with you for quite some time now, including your DeLorme posts on your Cuban adventure. I can't wait until we all get to share that with you as it sounds like you have been having a simply marvelous time. I hope you had a Merry Christmas and want to with you a Happy New Year. Fair Winds and Following Seas as you continue on your path to new adventures.
Wow, all the same to you. Thank you for the kind words and heartfelt greeting Gary. It means a lot. I'm glad you enjoyed every aspect of the trip (as I do believe the "lows" are a very important part to capture and share). As well as the highs! The dolphins! The flyover! France! Oui, oui! Thanks again. Your comment means a lot. I'll be starting work on the Cuban voyage videos very soon!
Annie - this is the best and most comprehensive YT vid of an ocean passage I've ever seen. Thank you for sharing it!
Wow, thank you Jim. We really appreciate you saying that. Means a lot to us!
Wow that flyby was something special!
I know, right?! I love seeing Yannick's face in that scene. He's smiling like a kid at Christmas! "Did you see? Did you see?" his face says. Ha ha.
Excellent documentary... It was very professionally done. And what a wonderful memory it willbe for you all..
Great movie covering Annie's voyage as part of a small crew sailing the catamaran s/v Andanza across the Atlantic Ocean! She does an excellent job documenting the good and bad of their trip. I definitely recommend it to anyone who has an interest for sailing and especially to those who are considering buying a sailboat.
I watched with such good feelings for you all. Emotion made my body shudder, at times, remembering my own seafaring adventures. I smiled, for all the things only those of us who have lived the magic, can feel; catching a glimpse of each other, that knowing magic in the eyes saying - yup, there goes another friend, who has been where we have been, and knowing - truly learning - that the ocean | the sky | the magical sunrises and sunsets, bending around the curved earth - knowing that in that grand nirvana, we are subject to her will; her desires, her mercies - and if we respect her, she will bless us with new and endless journeys.
Yours was beautiful to watch and experience. Thank you for being you, and letting me come along for the ride. Job well done!
Just one word, JEALOUS!!!!
One word back, THANKS!!!
Wow, I just had a big smile, and I thank you all very much for that. Thumbs Up...!
Love watching your videos while I'm prepping for my own voyage in my cabin in the Berkshires of Massachusetts. I spent the last two years restoring a Bristol 24 Corsair. Had planned on sailing along the coast down to the Caribbean, however being a geologist I could not help but notice that there is a lot of seismic activity going on in the plates along PR. Maybe the maiden voyage will be Bermuda or Nova Scotia!
nice job. one thing's for sure , this will let you know what you need to take with you when you go for a long way on the water.
Most definitely! Phillip said when we do our first ocean-crossing, a spare auto-pilot is the first thing that's going on our boat! Ha!
Annie and Phillip, just finished the video and man what an adventure! Thanks for the time spent putting this movie together and sharing. I have to say that while this crew was thrown together in such a short time, performed exceptionally well together. I will admit that I shed a tear or two when those jets screamed by and seeing the joy on the captains face was priceless. Thanks again and I look forward to your future adventures in Cuba.
Hey Tim! Thanks for watching. We're so glad you enjoyed the film. The moment those jets screamed by was definitely a highlight of the trip for all of us, especially Yannick. What a cool thing, huh? And what a great welcome to French shores. Thanks for watching and commenting. We're certainly proud of this movie and enjoy sharing it with folks who are interested in crossing an ocean.
That is WICKED COOL , the fly by's!!!!
Wow, what an amazing trip. I'd love to do that some day. Thanks for sharing!
You bet. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. It certainly was an incredible adventure and we're very grateful Yannick invited us aboard for the adventure.
Beautiful blue ocean,sky's and beautiful woman.
Hi Annie, I'm a UA-cam "junkie" and I am amazed that I've sat and watched a two hour video of you and the crew crossing the Atlantic. You kept me entertained, you held my attention and this is the best video I've ever watched on UA-cam!!!
Awesome video! Thanks for taking the time and sharing your adventure!
You bet. Thanks for watching Travis! Are you ready to cross an ocean now? ; )
Visiting the Azores whilst crossing the Atlantic is always special hopefully, I'll be there in two weeks whilst sailing to Bermuda at the start of my summer sailing trip this year.
Nice video, great trip. Thanks Annie to put so much effort in reporting to us. Well worth the two hours. Very instructive to learn about all the issues while underway.
Thank you Peter. It's nice to hear some kind words about the effort that goes into something like this, although I did have a fun time making it (there were mountains of GoPro files to go through - ha!). So glad you enjoyed the vicarious adventure and lessons learned.
Great adventure!
I really enjoyed the video and the trip with you guys.
Best of luck!
Great movie. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Nice to have sail this trip with you guys. Well would have been be better if it was for real of course.😉
Ha. Can't argue with you there. You know, we are making a five-day offshore adventure passage from Pensacola to Miami in February. 6 lucky folks will be sailing with us. Email me if you would like to join! anniedike@gmail.com
I'm kinda shocked that I sat and watched this whole thing. it's cool because I'm in Pensacola for a few months seems like you're living the dream. I spend months at sea but that's on a ship for work. i would love to travel in open water like this one day
You made it all the way to the end! Good job! I’m glad it kept your attention! We had a great journey.
You all are definitely 'real' sailors, now. That was an amazing trip, and since you traveled more than 1,000nm, non-stop, you're qualified to join ---either as crew or on your own boat --- OCC (Ocean Cruising Club, which I believe was started in UK). Membership fee is reasonable and they fly special "flying fish" flags, as I recall...With 9 days in the Azores, did Yannick also have the spinnaker re-stitched? Having a sewing machine onboard can sometimes be as essential as a watermaker or autopilot but you all had an amazing journey and thanks for sharing...
Hi Don! Thanks. Folks have told us about the OCC before. We've considered it, have just been so busy planning for or voyaging more to really focus on whether we need the benefits it affords (as we do try to watch our pennies). The Atlantic-crossing was definitely an eye-opening, incredible adventure. Capt. Yannick did not have the spinnaker re-stitched while in the Azores. The starboard engine, auto-pilot and generator completely occupied him there! ; ) Thanks for watching!
...and we did have a sewing machine:) The almighty Sailrite Ultrafeed. Just not a priority and to be honest a personal lack of knowledge on how to use it on such a light fabric as the spinnaker's...
Annie. I discovered your videos while surfing You Tube. They are very enjoyable to watch. Good information, detailed and clear to the point. I am a power boater but I've sailed off shore in the Pacific. I read reviews from your books and I asked my wife to order them. Enjoy the Cuban experience. We live in San Diego and getting our boat ready to head south to spend time in the Sea of Cortez. I noticed you and Phillip kite surf. If you ever get a chance check out La Ventana in Baja. Looking forward to see more of your adventures!! Cheers, Jose
Hey Jose. What a sweet note. Thank you so much for writing and for picking up copies of my books! Please let me know what you think when you finish. I hope you enjoy them. I wish I had more time to write but I do try to put out a few articles a month at www.havewindwilltravel.com, so be sure to sign up to follow there if you like my write-ups. Thanks for the well wishes. Cuba was amazing and we're excited to share the journey here on the Tube with you all. We will definitely check out that kite surfing spot if we ever sail to Baja. Thanks for the tip Jose!
Great story, thanks for sharing it with us.
You bet. Thank you for watching.
Lessons:
1. Always have spare halyards. There is usually enough space in the mast and you never know what they can be useful for.
2. Have some spare quality rope on board. In this case it could have been used to support the broken shrouds.
2a. Learn some knots not common on sailing: Blake, Prusik (or it's modern alternatives)...
maybe you will not get your mast perfectly straight with ropes and knots but you can definetly prevent it from falling.
3. Check your shrouds and stays regularly.
4. F**k stainless steel. There are good stainless steels, but they are rare (and magnetic). For the standard (austenite) ones like 1.4301 (not sea water resistant but very common for tea cans and pots and so on) or 1.4401 (AISI 316) (sea water resistant) there is good reason why they are not used in engineering if they are not necessary. For anything made of those steels, have an eye on it back it up and replace when in doubt.
5. Cable clamps and some spare cable can also bee nice to have. Keep in mind you need more than 1 cable clamp to make a connection. There are tables for that. Spare cable with clamps can be cheaper than comparable rope.
Amazing video! I loved every single bit of it, especially when they gave Yannick the navy fly by!!! yeehaaa!! What a moment of pure elation 😃. Thank you for sharing your journey with us all!
Annie, Phillip, thanks so much for sharing this epic trip. I have watched many of your videos and for sure this one was majestic, and reminded us of the power of nature and how we co-exist... Lots of hurdles came your way, but with good spirit and ingenuity, they were over come. Congratulations on completing your blue water adventure, may you always have fair winds and good luck with your future travels...
Wow, thank you Keith for the kind words. We could not agree more. This was the journey of a lifetime for us (at least our lives so far, because it has inspired us only to travel further, breath more deeply and truly take the world in). Appreciate you watching and sharing with us how the movie affected you.
That was amazing, thanks for sharing!
Anytime! Thanks for watching!
You know you've made a great video when me (and many others in the comments below) watch the entire 1 hour 53 minute video. Well done !!
Girl you have the most amazing personality and beautiful eyes!!!
Wow, thank you!
A wonderful & human story, loved watching you from the beginning till the end! Was so cool to have a glimpse of my country. Portugal.
Great trip and great video! I look forward to more of your adventures.
-johnny
Thanks Johnny! We look forward to sharing!
Annie & Crew THANKS!!! for sharing your experience on the 30 days to France...!!! GREAT Video!!!!!!!!! :) :) :)
Awwww, you bet. It was an amazing journey that we are glad Yannick allowed us to share with him. Thank you for watching!
Fantastic adventure! So refreshing to see a sailing video that is actually about sailing and not "see where we are today".
Am curious, I assume sailing is your full-time life now (and not chained to a 9-to-5 like so many of us)---how do you plan for the future (ie, retirement)? Live your dreams!
Hey JJ. Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed our movie. It was definitely an incredible experience making that trip with Captain Yannick on his impressive boat. I would say "cruising" is almost a full-time life for me now. I definitely do not go to an office and put in 9-5 anymore (although some days I put in more!) I work from a laptop now wherever I can get a wifi connection and Phillip is also working toward being able to travel more in the next couple of years. So, we're kind of cruisers in progress right now. Re: retirement, I have a small pot from when I was working as a lawyer, definitely not much and we try to save as we go along (just as I would if I was working UNTIL retirement age) but it honestly hasn't bothered me too much to not put so much time and effort into it now. Heck, I may not live till retirement age. Who knows. We try to be fiscally conservative and plan ahead as much as possible, but we are also very focused on living in the now and doing the things we have always wanted to do NOW, while we are young and healthy. With the law degree (which I keep in good standing) I can always sit at a desk and practice law when I'm 60.
Nice Job on documenting your trip. Thanks for sharing.
Great video and as always ur lookin good Annie 😍
Ohhh gracias! : D
Have looked around nobody seems to have a quick fix for Stays. But I had this problem underway once and did a strong fast quick fix because the cable was popping pretty fast. Took four Ubolt cable clamps and a peace of cable and clamp so the break was in between. Yes there was no adjustment for tighting but I had it there for more than two weeks sailing very heavy on it. Just by luck I had these parts for something else I was thinking of and after that encounter always made sure I had several setups.
Wow, very helpful. Thank you. We definitely felt there was too much movement in the shrouds that we wanted to stop. It proved detrimental for the wires in the rigging. Lucky for you for having the parts on hand.
I´ve just finished watching the video.. What a TRIP guys!!!! Full of everything, nice weather, incredible sunsets, some huge waves, a lot of wind and surfing. Great ship, looks very comfortable. Several problems with the gear but everything went well, doesn’t look you suffer too much. Although the best part is the filming, the edition and the jokes and Annie’s and Phillip’s occurrences, they really add a lot to the video. Great crew, everybody had a lot of work to do, including the fisherman!!!! Fresh sushi crossing the Atlantic? No way!!! I think both the video and he trip have everything that both you and we can ask about. Fantastic piece of work, it is not the first long passage I watch, but can tell you it is the best so far. Thanks a lot Annie for giving us the chance to share this incredible experience. Too bad you had to take a plane back home, couldn’t find any other vessel? Hahahaha. Cheers and thanks guys. Jorge - Buenos Aires- Argentina.
I know, right? Phillip and I joked that we would try to serve as crew coming back west across the Atlantic for the trip home. I can easily tell you both of us would have loved to. We were in no way tired of being out there on blue water. It was primarily Phillip's work obligations that required us to come home in a "quicker" fashion. But, we were lucky he was able to take the time off to make the trip with us. What an incredible ride, huh? I'm so glad you got to watch the movie and enjoyed it. I definitely tried to capture the "reality" of the experience, both the highs and lows. And, it was a very spacious, comfortable boat. Other than the bashing ... Thanks again Jorge. So glad you enjoyed the film!
You’re a great narrator. Great film. I wish I’d seen where you put all that food! And what you got. I felt the pain you experienced as things went wrong. Passage making is just a way to fix your boat under dreadful conditions in strange places, sometimes in no places. You had extraordinarily good weather. I wonder how the boat would do in 40 foot breaking waves in 40 kt winds. I’d be afraid. Congratulations.
What a wonderful video. Great content and production values.
Did you feel the impact of the few hours that your trip home took compared to the massive achievement that you made by crossing by sail?
Kudos folks. Kudos.
Thank you so much for documenting your trip. I was glued to the tv screen hanging on every word and every deep blue roller that you caught on camera. MY dream is to get a sail boat and take long trips and i see that all of you have the same dream. I dont think I will ever be able to get a ship like the cat you all took across the Atlantic. I must say that is a beautiful work of art from bow to stern. Phillip you are a lucky man to have such an elegantly beautiful wife. Annie I enjoyed seeing and hearing all of the laughter that you brought to the video and Im sure to your crew. I hope that when I finally get my boat that i am blessed with a wife as beautiful and uplifting as you seemed to be in this video. Im looking forward to seeing a video of you twos boat. Thanks again for the video i enjoyed it and you did a very good job.
This is exactly why it's a bad idea to post videos of your wife in a bikini.
Beautiful to watch - Thank you so much for the share - I envy you both!
You guys were reminding me of water world. picturing a giant shark coming up for the bait lol
I just finished watching the entire video and I have to say that it was fascinating. The captain had originally planned to make the voyage by himself, how would he have dealt with all of the failures on the boat, especially the auto pilot on his own? The other thing I found interesting was his language, he sounded like an American when you left the US, but spoke broken English at the end of the video, I assume that was due to going back and forth from English to French.
I think he was just finally pulling away from the States and really looking forward to finally speaking his native language all the time. It always caught me off guard when he started speaking in French, as if he had become a different person. It definitely motivated me to want to learn a new language. Likely spanish first though. Thank you for watching William. There is no way to know what would have happened had Yannick made the trip alone or how he would have dealt with whatever problems would have arisen on that trip, but he was certainly prepared. Appreciate you watching!
Remember there was a time with solo sailors and no technology... But for sure things were easier to deal with having my top notch crew onboard;) Note that my strategy for everything would have been way more conservative (i.e. leaving reefs on, not using the spinnaker, sailing farther away from traffic around Florida, etc.)
Annie, this is by far the best passage video I have ever seen - and I watch them all!
So exciting, so interesting and so compelling. Wow, your guy is one fortunate fellow indeed!
Can't wait for your next adventure.
John H.

My goodness, such kind words. Thank you John. We definitely had a fantastic time on the voyage and I enjoyed making the movie very much (although it did take some serious hours - whew!). Thank you so much for watching and for leaving a comment. Means a lot! P.S. I'll let Phillip know he's got a catch! Ha! Thank you.

32:46 that's no dolphin sighting that is a dolphin extravaganza
Or a dolphin lallapalooza! So many! I think we counted 19 at one point. They truly are mesmerizing creatures.
Great Video.. I am station away from my family and friends. You guyz sea FUN.. restores my faith and brings me GREAT joy!!!. NICE!! Galley and interior.. What CAT is that?
Wow, what an incredible trip, and very inspiring. Thank-you...
You bet. Thank you!
Great video. My husband and I enjoyed it a lot, we have wanted to learn how to sail. What a great idea to do it this way. To learn so much. We leave in 3 weeks to take 6 months to walk from Mexico to Canada but plan to take sailing lessons next year and hope to find a captan that may need a crew. since we can,t afford our own catermaran. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, what a nice note! You bet. Always happy to share. Thanks for watching. It was definitely an eye-opening exciting voyage. I would go again tomorrow. We love being out there and challenging ourselves on a new adventure. Good luck on yours as well. Fair winds!
That was absolutely the best video I have ever seen of someone crossing a ocean.Please keep up the good work.I will be curising in 3and a half years when I retire.Thank you Annie for the great video.
I just retired can I go?? :)
Doubt you gone now 😄
I just watched the entire trip and felt as if I were there. Now I'm back sitting in my office dreaming of the open ocean and a beautiful woman to share my adventures with. Annie you are a gem and brought such a light to this voyage. Wish you and Phillip all the best! - Cheers
Ok, so first things first, AMAZING! I am also reading your book "Salt of a Sailor" and I was blown away by how well you not only documented the trips, but how good you are at telling the story so it is interesting... I guess I expect every journey to be just 10-15 knots of wind and 2-4 seas or don't go out... :) I know you can't do that while you are crossing the ocean, or when you are on a schedule! I think too many other channels just show easy stuff. Thank you for the Highs and the Lows and how well you handled those lows with Yannick. In the book, the third bolt has just sheared off, and I think we are about to lose the dinghy.. :O OH NO! Great job with both!
Oh nooooo! Not the third bolt! There's only one left! Ha. I'm sure you've read beyond that point already. Wait till you see what happens to us in Carabelle, though, and how crazy Mitch reacts. That was such a fun story to write. Thank you for these kind words, Chase. It really means a lot as we do put a lot of time and effort into our content at HaveWindWillTravel. A lifestyle of travel, cruising and boat maintenance (ha! because that's half of it!) has been so rewarding for me and I love to share it with others. So proud to have you on board enjoying the journey! Thanks again!
Yep, finished it night before last! Could not put it down! Excellent! I hope the trip to Havana was a little less dramatic though! :)
The left handed reel used in reverse as a right handed reel was interesting. Lucky you didn’t catch a large fish and pop the eyes off the rod. Awesome trip!
Great job Annie. Really nice video Watched the whole thing. So how much did this motivate you guys to get your boat seaworthy? Safe travels my friend.
Thanks Gramps. We were definitely motivated already to get our boat ready to go offshore buy the voyage with Yannick taught us a great deal about many aspects of voyaging for that period of time that we were unaware of before, like how many spares you truly need to carry, provisioning for that long, fighting exhaustion, checking systems, etc. We picked up many ideas and tips during the voyage that will helps us be better prepared for a crossing on our boat, likely in the next 2-3 years!
Sure life is always a lesson. Just don't wait to start moving because your waiting for the latest this or that. Get what you need and untie the lines. There are boat services all over the world. In fact you can get most things done a lot cheaper then you can in Florida. Especially the mostly labor type jobs. So many new cruisers get tied to the dock for too long. never leaving until they got every last thing they thought they needed for "safety". It is heartbreaking. I have seen friends who bought a boat and never left the bay. They fixed this, upgraded that. They moved aboard but never really went cruising. Be brave and head out. You can always fix stuff later.
Couldn't agree more. Go small, go simple, go now! The Pardeys said that and we love that motto.
Best Cat sailing video ever! Loved it. Thanks for sharing your journey.

Little Current Yacht Club? really?! if this is the N. Georgian Bay Little Current, on the Manitoulin, I am going to have to contemplate joining your Patreon club. I've been cruising around McGregor Bay and surrounding waters since I was 5. it's a small world!!
It really is a small world. We meet so many cruisers in so many different places that we always seem to bump into again on the other side of the world.
