<\/p>\nMemories are flooding us as we are preparing for a presentation about our year away in the Med. Digging into all the photos, blog posts and videos is bitter sweet: while re-living our family sailing adventure is great fun it also makes us long for those slow and carefree days, when all that mattered was staying warm (or cool), fed and afloat. If you are in Victoria, join us at the Royal Victoria Yacht Club on Tuesday, September 19 at 7:00 pm. It would be lovely to share a drink and have you come on board our Sharki for a 90 minutes-cruise.<\/p>\n
