Show original “ Good morning. Attached I send you the photos, unfortunately without the t-shirts. Some Feed Back notes: BOAT: absolutely up to expectations. Clean boat. Excellent Wi-Fi signal. Comfortable cabins Sufficient set of plates / glasses / cutlery Boat equipment (winches, sheets, ..) excellent. Rain water infiltration problem in the cabin with the two overlapping berths (the one in the middle of the boat on the left) Sails in good condition. The mainsail not inferred on the boom has the limits that we know. Nautical charts, even if not necessary for the presence of the skipper, in very bad condition. SKIPPER: Technically very competent and prepared person. Mood / Feeling: negative. From the first moments he began to argue by repeating insistently that he no longer likes to go to sea, that after so many years he does not understand what he is doing on a boat,… that the weather would be bad,…. (in reality there was bora only on the 4th day), and proposing various programs that could have been done ashore…. But we had organized the vacation to go sailing. There was also a "nasty" episode during a card game, when the skipper had an angry and angry attitude towards a 14-year-old boy, abruptly abandoning the boat. It was not possible to discuss the route and the places to visit, both chosen unilaterally by the skipper without the possibility of sharing. On the first day, with wind from east / north-east, we chose to sail towards Chers (north-east), therefore with a navigation of about 5 hours with motor against the wind, and our proposal to sail towards south (Osor), sailed sideways. On the second day, light wind, we returned to Pula, to then moor in Brijuni with a beautiful and appreciated visit to the island by bicycle. Finally on the third day it was possible to do some sailing, for almost the whole day. On the 4th day, Tuesday 18, given the Bora, we decided to suspend the holiday one day in advance. CHOICE OF THE ROUTE: Basically, the only regret is that, albeit respecting the wind and the bora of the 4th day, our feeling is that a better itinerary could have been chosen. Thanks for collaboration. Friendliness Ruggero Gasparoli ”
