WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW?


YES! WE MADE IT! (27.12.06) 18days, 6 hours, 45 minutes and 7 seconds! This is the time it took to cross the Atlantic. This is what Atlantic Rally for Cruisers published on their websit about our crossing the finish-line: Queen of Hearts make a grand entrance Life in the Marina will take on a new meaning now that the all-girl crew on Queen of Hearts have arrived. From Norway, Italy and Denmark, the ladies have had a marvellous trip and are in excellent spirits ready to party hard on terra firma. So excited were they to have arrived and speak to the ARC Finish Line boat, the Finish team had to warn them, "There's a penalty for running into us, you have to circle the Island twice!" Skipper Siri Laurendz said between smiles “we had a very nice time. It's the first time we have sailed a catamaran for more than just a day, but we really enjoyed it and are just glad to be here.” By the way, we published articles on SEILmagainet.no everyday during ARC (they are written in Norwegian): Siste frokost med gjengen (av Per Ole Ranberg, 16.12.06) Champagne, latter og gråt (av Stefania R.
