Off We Go!! -- [visual story]















***********



It's been lots of hard work in the past few days. The taste of the morning coffee at a road side joint after a sleepless night on the dock**. Bitter-sweet metaphor of the long wait that comes to an end, and the journey that lies ahead of us.
From the dock, the mast was craned and bolted onto the boat, masts without sails until Singapore, but masts nevertheless.

[** def: 'a structure extending alongshore or out from the shore into a body of water'. The dock definition itself already gave us encouraging hints of our imminent departure and helped us wipe the sweat out with a smile].

So here we are, loading Infinity with fuel and water as i write, she has agreed to take us on our journey, now that we all proved we cared for her.

Off to Singapore, where our stay will be generously sponsored by the wonderful eco-friendly and luxurious ONE°15 Marina Club. The Infinity Sea Tribe is living the dream thanks to people and organizations like the ONE°15 Marina, we need your support, help us make this dream come true!

Since we are still on the look out for a satellite communication package for the Infinity Sea Tribe project, we will not be able to update the blog until our arrival in Singapore (around the 27th of May), but keep an eye on the blog and our site, and spread the word on this project! We welcome any questions, inquiries, suggestions (...) from the readers of this blog, so get in touch with us and we'll be happy to interact with you :)

looking forward to meet the new crew members that will join us soon, and a warm welcome to Wim from Belgium/France, who joined the crew yesterday, right on time for our good-bye party.

  1. Maps of the area in which you are docked and were you are headed would be a good thing. Also points of interest along the journey would help give colour and focus to those following from the long distance of the web. Thanks and good journey. Daniel Bowie
