Hi out there! I am Sandra, the wife, girlfriend, buddy, shipmate …of Reini Gelder.. We are sailing together since 17 years, and this trimaran is the place where my home and heart is. This is the first time for me, I have to stay on shore, while Reini is crossing an ocean. Pitty! Not that I’d like to do the Ostar, I dream more about cruising, nice weather, easy going in following seas – and winds.
I write here because I’d love to get in contact with all of you who have to stay onshore too this time and wait for news of your loved ones. I would like to share my emotions and thoughts, so I asked Marco Nannini if he would do all the familiymembers a favour and create a forum for them. He replied immediately saying he will install one! This will be a great possibility to get in contact, also for those of you who will travel to Newport for the finish. (Mille grazie a Marco!)

Hallo Sandra, habe gerade
Hallo Sandra,
habe gerade von Reini´s Umkehr gelesen. Zum Glück ist es anscheinend kein großer Schaden, aber Reini tut mir echt leid, nach den vielen Vorbereitungen so schnell aufgeben zu müssen.
Es hat mich übrigens sehr gefreut, Euch kennengelernt zu haben!!!
Liebe Grüße,
Dieter

Sandra,it was great to meet you and Reini again at Plymouth.
According to the tracker Reini is well placed.
I am confident he will do well, barring breakages, but then you've spent so long on your refit.
As I am doing with Aqua Blue in Monfalcone.

Hallo Sandra, hallo
Hallo Sandra, hallo Reini.
Habe heute Mittag im Internet den Start mitverfolgt.
Halte euch beiden die Daumen, dass es eine super Zeit wird und alles positiv abläuft.
Der Track auf der offiziellen homepage funktioniert leider noch nicht. Auch ist mein Mail an eure homepage wieder retourniert worden. Vielleicht funktioniert es in ein paar Tag. Werde weiterhin euren Kurs verfolgen.
Liebe Grüße

Liebe Sandra! Hoffe Dir

Hoffe Dir fällt es nicht ganz zu schwer, Reini diesmal alleine segeln zu lassen...Freu mich jedenfalls schon wieder sehr auf Dich und wir können dann ja gemeinsam warten, wenn Du wieder daheim bist...
Alles Liebe
