Here Yvan Bourgnon arrive from Martinique on his Hoby Cat.
The welcoming committee consisted of Roland, his wife and yours truly.
He sleeps on one of the side bunks depending on the healing of the boat.
Yvan is a 44 years old Swiss and I found him in a particular good state on arrival after 6 days fast sailing from Martinique.
His mother ship is the blue X-Yacht on the right of this photo. They arrived 12 hours after Yvan and had broken the boom in the rough seas off Columbia during an accidental Gybe. They had stayed much further out at sea than we did when we sailed there and I still believe our tactic was better.
In the evening we dined at Roland's yacht with Yvan, who turned out to be a very nice chap and that had lived many of his childhood years on his parents yacht.
