Racing week in Marmaris

 
Joining a crew of 3, I spent a week racing the Sunsail Sun Odyssey 37 boat Papyrus in the bay of Marmaris, Turkey.
One of the races involved a night passage, and I stood my share of watches throughout the week.  It was a great introduction to racing, and I got to understand some of the complexities of the rules.
Total mileage for the week was estimated to be 100 Nm.

Bareboat sailing in the Leeward Islands

Joining a crew of 7 welsh lads, and my father-in-law, on board a Sun Odyssey 51, Coquet, the plan was to sail from St. Maarten to Antigua, taking 2 weeks to do so.  The wife came as galley slave, while I funded the adventure and acted as "competent crew".
Sailing via St. Barts, Saba, Statia, St. Kitts, &  Nevis, we covered around 175 Nm, mainly day sailing, but with a couple of night passages, where I did my turn on watch.
