Here’s an interesting view of an Exploration 45 from the front. It reveals what Olivier Racoupeau refers to as ‘beam stability’, in his interview on the Garcia Yachts channel. Katy and Jerry on GX25 - Idril pulled up to the dock next to GX27 - Snow Gum. The four of us humans had a good chat about all manner of things relating to Exploration 45s. It was like the old days, pre Covid. Good fun. 🙂 I don’t know what the two boats talked about. Regards, Rick. Quick quiz - what’s the story with the name Idril? No search engines allowed! 😠

Bangkok isn’t a city - it’s a filter. If you need comfort, it will drain you. If you’re curious about how life really works, it pulls you in. Most travelers stay in malls. They look for the version of Thailand that’s easy to swallow. I follow the heat, the noise, and the routines that haven't changed in generations. Here, a $500 rooftop dinner exists right above a $2 street food stall that’s been feeding locals for decades. What can surprises you: 1️⃣ The Heat: You don’t escape it - you adapt. 2️⃣ The Food Logic: Plastic stools. No menu. Someone yelling in Thai. That’s where the real food lives. 3️⃣ The Contrast: Fancy cars over canal boats and BTS. Luxury and survival sharing the same street. Bangkok doesn’t try to be liked. It just shows you who you are. So tell me: do you look for comfort or contrast? 👇 If you choose contrast, you need the right coordinates. I’ve mapped special locations in Bangkok where the soul is still alive. No tourist traps. No bullshit. Send me "MAP" if you want them.
