Now we're ready for those big tunas again! Tons of sesame seeds, wasabi, rice vinegar, soya and nori sheets are purchased for a part of this tour. Is there anything more fulfilling than being able to catch your own fish and preparing fantastic sushi straight off the boat, under the sun, in the middle of an ocean? No! Will try making sushi with some other fish than only the tuna, next time. /Taru

Can't wait to find out what new mental and spiritual insights and which new reflections and analyzes of the outside world this journey will give us. Can we leave already?/T

There's still quite a long list of things to purchase for this tour and we're slowly checking off things on this as well. We took some hours off from the polishing today and went out shopping. Besides of finding more delicate bottles to the wine selection, and more to the collection of tea's, I finally found this sweet, little (length only 14 cm!) friend that I've been looking for, for quite some time now. I know that some of you might sigh now and wonder what the hell will she do with ironed clothes on the sea, but this I find a must have for those few days when arriving in beautiful harbors and in need to get dressed up. The same answer goes to the wonderings about why I would bring so much (not much, only ten pairs) high heels on the boat. Simply because a life afloat, doesn't limit us from getting off in land in beautiful locations and indulge in excellent restaurants or hotels, when there's time and space for it. And a women still needs to be a woman, even though she might live on a boat.

This is by the way one of the best Spanish wines I've ever came across and what we're stocking up the boat with. Or mostly me, I must say, cause even though Alex is a frenchman, he rarely drinks wine. He prefers the rum. Either way, we'd definitely need a couple of those delicious bottles of Mas La Plana's onboard. Try it, if you're anything like me and you enjoy a rich, elegant, well balanced and intensively characteristic red wine.
