Sailing Mon Ami around the world
Mats & Louise Warnqvist Sailing Mon Ami of Sweden around the world
Our newly married daughter Sara and her husband Björn will spend their honeymoon on board Mon Ami for the Atlantic crossing.
They are a most welcome addition to the crew as Sara is a doctor and Björn study to become one. He is also a military combat diver.
We do miss our son Oscar who could not get free from work but we know would like to join us as well.
In November we will attend the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers, ARC+ via Cape Verde to Saint Lucia in the Caribbean, with Mon Ami of Sweden.
ARC is arranged by World Cruising Club and this year is the 33rd year of the race. 300 boats is attending with totally approximately 1500 crew members onboard.
On Mon Ami will Mats and Louise be joined by our daughter Sara and her newly married (25 Aug-2018) husband Bjorn. The 3 weeks Atlantic crossing will be their honeymoon. Together with parents in law(!) We think its very positive.
It makes a big difference to be four crew onboard instead of only two with night watch, sleep and to be able to fix problems onboard. Sara and Bjorn is perfect crew as they are medical doctor and military combat diver. – But I think we will need some more food!
