That's incredible, thanks for posting.

What's Geoff up to these days? Wish he was still posting here once in
a while. He was one of the inspirations for our Caribbean cruise two
years ago.

Hi Skip,

Didn't know you knew Geoff! I've been an avid reader of Bluejacket's
adventures for years.

We are in Smir in the Marina after spending a few days in a very
unwelcoming Tangier harbour. There simply is no room for sailboats and
you are just in the way in their view. New marina (2016?) will make a
difference.
