Well, there we are. Yesterday Belisama arrived safely in Pula after an odyssey of 6,500 nautical miles (12,000 km) spread over the last 4 seasons. In total, the conveyance will have lasted 247 days, an average of 26.3 nm per day, corresponding to 5 hours' sailing every day.
It sounds tough when expressed in raw numbers, but it has been a pleasure all the way through amazing waters with fantastic support from 19 crew friends who joined on different legs, some more than once. Thanks to all of you! I have to admit that I slowed Belisama down in the last few miles so as not to arrive in port too suddenly.
On the way, we pass along two remarkable lighthouses.
Belisama now has her year-round ring at Marina Polesana in Pula, just a stone's throw from our house in Stinjan.
We'll be taking a break from sailing to welcome friends and family in the coming weeks. But I'm sure we'll be set sails to explore our new sailing area, and report in the blog.
See you soon!
Well done, guy ! Joli périple , félicitations! Nous avons navigué par procuration...
