Sailing the Bahamas, the sailboat kept trying to take me out. I'm still paying the price. đ The boat, along with Captain Connor, slammed my thumbnail in a hatch and destroyed my thumb. It's been three weeks, and the nail just won't go. So I'm gonna try remove it myself. Think I can do it? Ripping my thumbnail off was harder than I thought... #thumbnail #sailing #bahamas

Yes, I know, it was off-limits, you are not allowed to sail through the Grand Canal with your tender as a non-resident..... But hey, we are Dutch, to us 'no' means maybe there is a possibility. And we only have this one chance now that we are here with our sailboat and tender. So we just did it. And it was great, also a bit tricky through the narrow canals with a lot of waves and 10,000 other boats, check out our video of the trip in the small canals. There you can see very well that Venice is composed of 118 small islands connected by 400 bridges. We enjoyed how you could almost touch the houses and saw everyone in the city doing their thing (loading fruit into the boat, transporting guests).


A heavy wind on the course saw Svea cross the line in fourth place in both the fourth and fifth race of the championship today, just eight seconds behind Lionheart on corrected time in the last race of the day. It's been a thrill to see her strength on the course in her first season of racing, with the careful work by our team who launched her this year paying dividends.
