The secret a skipper has to know in these situation is just the word "smile".
I'm pretty sure that in this moment Gianfranco is joking and laughing with the people he's meeting during the alternative trip to Newport.
I hope to see (and photograph) him soon in the sea, and - why not? - drink some beers together speaking and smiling about the Ostar 2009 experience.
Ciao Gianfrà , un abbraccio!
1. Mervyn Wheatley on Tamarind - the impeccable british gentleman
2. Will Sayer on Elmarleen - the brave skipper, perfect mast climber
3. Marco Nannini on British Beagle - the brain drain example, the typical italian ingenious economist fled to London for job... or for sailing? ;-) (in Italy we name them P____ULI...)
Other new pictures on the store section.
It was a pleasure meeting Richard at Queen Anne's Battery.
We was flutting about for taking pictures of the skippes and Richard was sitting and relaxed.
Everytime we met us, I got a little his relax watching his painting growing...
With the power of internet I can watch today his finished painings. Superb result!!!
Thank you, Richard!
Hope to meet you at the next OSTAR! ;-)
Wow! With delay, not my blame, I start to upload pictures on blogSTAR (full res. available on the STORE section).

At last, me and Ivan are back to home after a long trip (trains, plane, bus, car...)
I'm trying to put in order a lot of GB of photos...
I hope to finish before Christmas... ;-)
While I'm tagging with metadata everithing (my cup of tea too), I just post some photograph.
In a few days all pictures will be available in the store section of blogSTAR, some of them will be posted here in small size.
Cheers.
