Strasbourg....

Philipe from CS had me stay in his apartment which has so many interesting students and workers... Biology, Arts, European government, IT, and media work all under the one roof.

Strasbourg also has a bunch of German architecture by being part of that nation from last 1800s to end of first world war....

The local CS are a friendly crew and most entertaining - I am now the proud owner of their CS t-shirt!

Beautiful eastery breezes in the Whitsunday islands

While we are so used to the South East trades, there is nothing that makes sailing more pleasureable in the Whitsundays than an East breeze. This allows you to sail North and South with ease and visit so many places.

This trip started out with strong winds and some rain, but it improved over the days which determined some rationing so that 3 days could be lasted.

It was well worth it.
