......when 2 of your students from 7 years ago turn up on their yacht to say hello on their way to the Caribbean. 
We met a couple who came to the sea school we were part of in Lanzarote 7 years ago. I took them for their first ever sail. We were also involved with their day skipper training and did a weeks cruise with them to see if they liked the life.
3 years ago they bought an ex Joint Services (British Kiel Yacht Club) Najad 33 in Italy. They spent some time sailing the yacht and a slow refit. Left in the summer and had some adventures sailing here. In their 30's, they have taken 2 years off work for the grand tour.
The reason I'm so pleased about this right now is they've just sent a departure text and I got yacht Vaquita on AIS. Good luck to them and their crewmate. They've promised lots of pictures to revive our memories of our first crossing on a same sized yacht.
