Fat Bottomed Girls

Just sailed one of these from Sotogrande, Spain, to Turkey. Loved it.

Quick and comfy. Got easy 8 knots upwind, didn't quite crack 10 on the reach (we were being Careful And Responsible Delivery Crew)

Good view

Left Soto on sat pm, topped off tanks in Almerimar Sunday lunchtime and headed across to Algeria.

Spoke on vhf to very polite coastguard chap, he cleared us to sail inside very busy shipping lanes, right inshore We got 1 to 2 knots current with us going inshore, big lift.

Just seen FBG 2 & 3. Lovely - but it is a ghost ship; right? No signs of life whatsoever. Spooky man!

Now this is a ghost ship:

Bay of Cadiz, about a month ago

Our company Oceanis 50 of the same vintage is also a lovely boat to sail.

Its just a shame it's falling to bits already.

If its the same age as the ghost ship, its done well!
