Getting closer

Just another month and Patrik, me and our friends M&M’s are off to Malta, to spend one week on a sailing boat – yeah!! We are so excited and nearly can’t wait to start our adventure!

After having passed the sailing theory this summer, Patrik will continue and do the “Day Skipper” practical course, while I’ll do the “Competent Crew” training.

We decided to book with “Salana Sailing” because they offer various courses, plus our main wish was to sail around Malta – which they do. Certainly, we were also looking for a competent, English speaking, fun-loving provider and so far we haven’t been disappointed. The email contact we’ve had so far was very promising and professional. So we look really forward to meet our skipper and instructor and “our” boat, which will either be a Bavaria 39 or 46 Cruiser – we don’t know yet, which one will be our home for the week.

Since Patrik and I mainly want to do our practical sailing education, we figured that chartering a boat only for us might be the best thing to do. I’m sure, that way we will gain most of our training. Having M&M’s also on board is of course the icing on the cake – we’ll have so much fun together!

So, while Michaela and Michael will enjoy one week of getting “chauffeured” around the Malta islands, enjoy the (hopefully sunny and warm) weather, swimming, sun- bathing and being busy with doing next to nothing, Patrik and I will be working and learning and hopefully pass the course by the end of the week – fingers crossed!
