Friends we have made over thew past 4 years are now going to be seen much less often.... Our Portofino 52 catamaran will be shipped to Italy for the mast and launching and Portofino is moving to Fujairah. We are priviledged to be invited to the ceremony of the 10 Year Lease signing - with lots of pomp and ceremony. So we travel the 1 hour to Fugairah and can't believe our eyes - even before th contact is signed, work on the buildings and offices are already being built and quite far advanced... We are also invited to take part in a yacht race on Matrix, a carbon performance monohull - and this is serious stuff! Wile no money, lots of pride is at stake so see how we go. And EMARRASSINGLY, Eli gets trapped between the jib and stanchions in a tack and has to be pulled out by others.... Well, she is a catamaran sailor and not used to these lean over things!!!! Also exciting news about our upcoming episodes about how you can live aboard yachts for only $50K with outgoings of 1/4 -1/3 of normal seagoing prices - watch through to the end to find out how! 👣 About Us We’re the Barefoot Doctors — medical doctors and lifelong sailors living full-time aboard a performance expedition catamaran.

La giornata inizia con degli spruzzi d’acqua. Lontani e appena accennati. Da bravi animali curiosi quali siamo deviamo la rotta e quella che sembrava una zuffa acquatica tra qualche creatura marina, si rivela essere una placida nuotata di due grosse balene. Non ci avviciniamo per non disturbarle e ammiriamo da lontano il momento in cui si inabissano verso le profondità del mare e salutano il cielo levando l’enorme coda verso l’alto. Dopodiché scompaiono per sempre. Riporto la barca sulla giusta rotta mentre mi appunto mentalmente di ricordarmi sempre di non dare la quotidianità per scontata, di continuare a emozionarmi di fronte a delle scene di vita tanto semplici quanto straordinarie. I turni di notte iniziano a presentarci il conto, mentre gli spostamenti e le operazioni diventano man mano molto più faticose. Aprire una vela è mai stato tanto stancante? L’arrivo è previsto tra circa 24h. Il meteo è instabile, da Santo Domingo ci dicono che il maltempo dilaga e che è previsto del brutto. Per ora noi facciamo slalom tra le piogge e assaporiamo ogni raggio di sole che riesce a sfuggire alla presa delle nuvole. Sebbene non abbia ancora mai piovuto, le cerate sono sempre pronte lì all’ingresso. Sperando rimangano appese anche stanotte e domani. Ci aggiorniamo strada facendo! Camilla
