At the end of the summer season Dream headed up to San Remo for a week or two before crossing to the States. San Remo is a beautiful little town close to the Italian / French border, and of course it is also only around 40 miles from Antibes, where Vix and I are based now.

Whilst in San Remo some of the crew and I went mountain biking in the hills above the town. There are some world class trails there with the peaks rising to 1299 metres. We cheated a little and got a lift most of the way up but then rode some very technical downhill on the way back to sea level.

After leaving San Remo we headed south to Gibraltar for fuel (and fish and chips) and then on towards Ft lauderdale. Due to adverse weather we stopped in the Canary Islands for a day or two and then found our plans changed so set off from Las Palmas, Gran Canaria to St Maarten in the Caribbean. About four days out from St Maarten our schedule changed again and we turned northwest to Nassau in the Bahamas. We managed to get a little bit of fishing in whilst waiting for the high tide in Nassau and then it was a great relief to tie up in the Atlantis marina on Paradise island.
