Nigel met Brian in 1973, they were fellow graduates starting work in the Esso refinery in Fawley. We have been friends with Brian and Michele for over 40 years and it was a great pleasure to welcome them on board for a week sailing around Zadar and it’s neighbouring islands. We had a great week, sailed about 120 miles, visited at least 5 different islands and had a delightful rendezvous with the crew of MaXian. Max, Celia, Sheena and Tony entertained us to drinks and supper on board. This trip was Michele’s first sailing experience and in spite of 20knot winds on the nose most afternoons, she survived very well and, we hope, enjoyed it. Brian certainly did. He is a keen and willing sailor and was soon number one crew as Mo was nursing a bruised shoulder. The story of our week is told in pictures below!
