Mei 2018. Woensdag.
Vandag is die hartseer dag wat ons afskeid moet neem van
Sullivan. Hy pak en 13:50 stap ons saam met hom busstop toe. Die makkers groet
hartseer en ek groet hom nat-oog. Dit was heerlik om hom aan boord te hê.

Vyftig jaar gelede was Archie en Sullivan beste vriende. Toe
kom kuier hy op Maja. Dit was wonderlik om te sien dat die twee makkers van
ouds mekaar nog steeds so kan geniet.
Sullivan is baie hulpvaardige en bedagsaam. Sout van die
aarde. Hy het al sy take met ywer verrig en het altyd meer gedoen as wat hy
moes. Baie dankie daarvoor. En hy is met die helm gebore!
Baie dankie ook aan Mary-Anne vir die Waterblommetjie room wat sy vir my gestuur het en ook die spesiale whiskey vir Archie. Ons waardeer dit opreg.
Best experience
Sailing Maja, especially the one hour under sail, enjoying the feel of steering her. Even just sitting behind the wheel with a coffee, water flowing by, the wind and sun and the constant interaction with my friendly electronic guide.

Dining out on board with Marietjie’s lovely food.

Best place.
Not easy, but I loved Spartakhori probably because it was so unexpected, the lazy line mooring guided by Bapis, the village walk, the lovely curio shop, the first shower and a great meal in a wonderful setting. It set the scene for the week.

Hi Marietjie and Archie
Thank you both for a wonderful 10 days full of exciting adventures. It was a very
special time for me, away from my "normal life" and being able to
completely relax with you guys - at least after the initial "shock" of
getting used to Maja’s rules.
Thank you for sharing your lives and Maja and making me so welcome. I’m
sure it can’t be that easy having a stranger right in your living
space. Very much appreciated
Thanks Archie for the invitation to reunite after so many years. Quite
amazing that we could simply pick up after 30 odd years. Thanks
Marietjie for making me so welcome.
The food was great and I enjoyed it all from the crazy braai on 45
degree rocks to our last supper at Madison’s. And especially the "dining on board" a la Marietjie.
I look forward to welcoming you to our home in Cape Town in the not too distant future.
I wish you both lots of happiness and fun as you continue to explore the Med. Take care.
Lots of love.
Sullivan
