Two feet on the Table - Part II

A couple of posts ago I wrote about "Two Feet on the Table" and the brave attempt to reach the Northpole in order to raise money for the Aqualung Trust in memory of a wonderful person and great colleague, Nick Baker.

Meanwhile the expedition is on its way and making good progress (20 Nm a day, which is a lot!), you can follow their progress on the website of Ice Axe Expeditions.

Please support this exceptional fund raiser.

Thanks

South Pacific Charters

Visit Charter Experience's website for a large selection of luxury charter yachts

Much to my joy I was informed that the sailing yacht Carl Linne (see picture on the right) will be cruising in the South Pacific.

When I sailed around the world, we spent lots of time in the South Pacific. It is a magical place and I have lots of happy memories from there. The little remote islands, forgotten by time and the abundance of nature to explore. Beautiful bays and lagoons all to yourself. And the friendly local people with flowers behind their ears, always happy to give you a ride to wherever you had to go - as there is no local transport - and the wonderful baguettes and croissants delivered to the boat. Mind you after 17 days at sea (we left from Galapagos - more on that in another post one day) we were happy to touch land again, stretch our legs and get our hands on fresh fruit and vegetables.

One can understand why Paul Gaugin escaped to this paradise and Jacques Brel spent the last part of his life in the amazing part of the world.

Now sailing yacht Carl Linne (32 meters, sleeps 6 guests and 4 crew, built by Holland Jachtbouw) will be in Bora Bora (once voted the most beautiful island in the world - see picture below), Tahiti and the Tuamotus (I had to pinch myself to realise it was real and I was not in a dream the first morning I got on deck in the Tuamotus, it looked like paradise - or my idea of how paradise looks).

Carl Linne charters for Euro 24,000 low season + all expenses and is available through Charter Experience.

Superyacht for Petrolhead

From May 21 till 24 Monaco will be the place to be. The F1 circuit will take over the country and you can't really miss this event to kick off summer in Southern Europe. More info on the event you can find here.

Now you wonder what F1 has to do with luxury yacht charter? Actually the best way to be part of this event is to charter a yacht, invite all your best friends and business associates and sit on the aft deck of your yacht and watch the F1 zooming past. You don't really have to be a petrolhead to enjoy this magnificent event.

The Snapper (see picture) is available for this amazing event and you can snap her up for EURO 120,000/wk + all expenses. (all expenses also means the cost for the berth in Monaco).

Racing Superyachts in Sardinia

Boat International Media has secured New Zealand's Fitzroy Yachts Limited as Gold Sponsor for its Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta.

The regatta will be sailed from 10 - 13 June of the Costa Smeralda in Sardinia. It promises to be a spectacular event with many super sailing yachts already signed up to participate. So far the largest yacht is the 52 m Red Dragon, other impressive names are Hyperion, Hamilton II and Kokomo. All individually magnificent yachts and it will be spectacular to see these yachts battling for honors on, the sometimes boisterous , waters off the Costa Smeralda in Sardinia.

In the picture on the right the multi award winning 44 m SY Salperton, built by Fitzroy.

It will be worthwhile chartering a yacht to be able to watch this event on the water and be close to the action.

Two Feet On The Table

In June 2001 Nick Baker - an exceptional person and great colleague - was diagnosed lung cancer – quite a surprise for a non-smoker. After setting up The AquaLung Trust and raising over £500,000 he died on 17th May 2008.

On April 11th 2009 the expedition ‘Two Feet On The Table’ will set out from Ice Station Barneo in a quest to reach the Geographic North Pole by foot, to continue the good work of his Trust.
