February 2017, or sailing is calling

It is freezing cold outside and all the streets are covered with snow. Despite these perfect ski conditions, I cant wait for the beginning of the sailing season.
During this waiting time, my wish to participate in this Translemanique en solitaire is growing stronger and stronger.
By the end of February I made up my mind and sent the Commitee of the YCC Sailing Club an email about my plans and ask them for permission to use one of our clubboats to compete in this event.
