Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain

The trip idea

Before I left Brighton, Olivier told me that if I was buying a sailing boat, he was going to flight here to sail together... We both made it!

With 2 French friends from Brighton and Tortsen.

Vincent, alias Vince

We are not sure where he comes from ! He loves Paris but spent his teenager (he is still) time in Nantes. I met him in Brighton through Noemie.

Olivier alias Oliv

Originally from Britanny the well known French sailors region, I met him in one of those Brighton Pub through Vince. He sails since he is young with his parents and also teached sailing to kids back in France. He now works in Brighton. I especially now him well for loving drinking Pastis. Not being able to drink this beverage in UK he keeps the alcools balance in his body drinking even more beers ! I would make a big loss if I was not mentioning the fac the lived in the baggies backpackers for one year. Bear it it mind….

Little story

Walking around Mogan's harbour we met Joe, a girl he used to live with in the Baggies packpackers. She was working on a boat. She introduced us to Simon, the boat's skipper who came the following day onboard to sail with Oliv and I. We spent the rest of our week with them.

We have not got many photos from this trip, the only camera onboard during this trip went capout very early
