A great philosopher/life guru (can’t remember which one) once said that life was a series of choices and that success or happiness was a function of making the right choices. Well I have  just completed a fantastic trip with Chris (and Alec and Pete) on board Fizz from the Azores to Lagos which I would like to compare to a  long distance sailing race I recently completed from L a Rochelle to Rio de Janeiro

So on the one hand

A bareboat with 18 persons on board for circa 6 weeks – with a shower every 8 days

and on the other

an Oyster 53 with furling reefing on both the genoa and mainsail (which can be trimmed by 1 person) , electric winches , AC , fridge , freezer , hot showers, beer, wine , own bunk, 240v power sockets ……………….

WELL YOU CHOOSE
