Last year, I wrote about being part of the crew that brought Tres Hombres to Copenhagen for the third year running. In every edition I was in a different capacity. Trainee, deckhand, bosun. It may be clear to everyone that I aspire to add more roles to that list. I can see myself arriving in Copenhagen as mate and eventually as captain.<\/p>\n
That leaves one spot: the one of cook. I would almost accept that postion just to complete the list but I have to admit; it\u2019s not where my passion lies. That pumpkin risotto I cooked on a Monday that was well received notwithstanding. I\u2019m the bosun still and loving it. Mad respect to the cooks that have provided me with some of the most wicked meals I had in my life. Giulia, Owen, Jeroen, Anneleen, Guillaume – and then there\u2019s been those heroes like Aaron and Arthur. You\u2019re the best!!<\/p>\n
As I\u2019m writing this piece we haven\u2019t quite made it to the key next to Rosforth & Rosforth yet, though. We\u2019re anchored just outside Copenhagen waiting for the right conditions to make it to our mooring. Another not-the-first-time. Actually, at the end of our last leg we spent a night hooked to the seabed awaiting Poseidon\u2019s blessing. I\u2019m in the galley, the setting sun shedding her last rays through the door opening onto my face – I sit content, tired after another long leg and happy to have this moment before the carnage of city life, offloading and meeting old friends comes our way.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s always a great treat, that last-day anchorage. Just to be with all those kind people you shared some epic weeks at sea with, get a little goofy\u2026 Love it. I write about this particular moment which at this point I feel like sharing with you more than the fact that we saw both the solar AND lunar eclipse, blasted over the North Sea with our glorious stu\u2019nsails up, plowed through the Golden Globe fleet surrounded by bottlenose dolphins\u2026 Anchoring before arriving: I\u2019ll gladly do many more of those.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
