I met him a few weeks ago at the North Sea Regatta at The Hague.
He's the one with the GEA logo and sailnumber 110.

we talked to him a couple of times during the Tybee. He was really missing not being there.

He's did pretty damn well at Nord See IIRC.

He gave me a tour of the loft via Skype. I also got some shots from his new YC - look like an awsome place. Over 400 cats there and a bar with a great view.

JW, exactly where is that place where he is now living? Looks like he needs some company from the States to keep him from getting homesick! There's way too many Corona's there! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

The Corona is for display purposes only, no one actually drinks it
I sail at the same club, in fact my boat is only 20m away from his.

I've got a JC watch, it's kinda scary with him starin' at ya all the time. Plus it yells at you if your slow to get on the wire. I think I'll go back to the Mickey Mouse watch, less stress.
JC, if you read this pm or E-mail me your skype name, I downloaded all that stuff then couldn't find you.

Shooooot. That ain't nothing compared to the JW Watch. That thing does nothing but whine and complain! It's like the weather channel - every 10 minutes...blah blah blah blah blah!

Yeah,
You know us ol' farts actually used to play outside when we were kids. None o' that computer training at 4 years old. That's why all of y'all are so beady eyed.
Oh yeah, Trey your sister's HOT!!! Tell her I said Hi. It's a shame you didn't get any of the good looks, or maybe their just not tellin' ya something.(That was for Ryan)
