I was in Paris at the start of the year, if there is anywhere you can get a culture overload, Paris is it. From Eiffel, to the Arc, up the Champs-Elysees, through Notre Dame, the Louvre, Moulin Rouge and pretty much everywhere in between, your head has a danger of exploding from all the epic stuff that is entering it. I loved the place, and the people I shared that time with.
I can't wait to go back there, heck I may even check it on the weekend..........
Maybe.

The hour after sunrise and the hour before sunset - the Golden hours of the day. Here are some photos I took one morning over the weekend, and also at a football festival during the week at RCD Mallorca's home ground.
It's been a pretty busy week in Palma with the boat. She has been up on the hard for the last two weeks and on Thursday she was due to go back into the water. So as per usual, the 700t travel-lift made its way to the boat, and picked her up, then it made its' way to the dock where the boat would be placed nice and gently into the water. Only issue was that the crane broke a wheel bearing halfway to the water, after a few shaky moments with the rig (backstay was off and there was a little bit of a wobble up starting!), we soon realised that the boat would literally be hanging around for at least the night, if not three.
So we packed our bags and spent the night in a hotel, turns out that has been my first night not on the boat in 4 months! Thankfully the bearing was all sorted by Friday morning and we were soon back in the water. With Cam leaving for New Zealand that morning, we soon realised that I was the only deck crew left on the boat, nothing a bit of telling the yard guys what ropes to pull and when wouldn't fix.
Below are some photos from the yard period so far.
