It's actually quite normal that sometimes you can't see the trees for the sheer forest or that you become operationally blind.
We are aware that we spent the Corona crisis and the associated worldwide travel ban in one of the most beautiful places in the world, but at a certain point in time every clear turquoise water, every white sandy beach or every palm tree that gently sways in the warm wind and maybe we would not recognize it anymore if there weren't a visitor who reminds us where we actually are.

As I write these lines, our friend Rudi is already back on the plane to Manila and then on the plane to Frankfurt with a smile on his face.
His 15th visit to all parts of the world is proof that true friendships endure even over long distances and periods of time
Now his holiday as a fellow sailor has come to an end and he is full of impressions of the beauty of nature and the kindness of the people we met here.

A little more than 2 weeks is of course only a snapshot and all the places we have visited together during this time are just a drop in the bucket of wanderlust, but Rudi is leaving us this time with a satisfied feeling and the statement that this time away from everyone Everyday stress was enough to recharge his batteries for the next 365 days.

Well then...until next time my friend.
