Email received from Balance 526 Galileo:
I hope you are doing well. Sorry we will miss the get together this summer, but we certainly are seeing more Balances out here.
We continue to enjoy Galileo and thought you might like this video a friend did of us exiting one of the passes in the Tuamotus in French Polynesia.
We have just passed 40,000 miles and have more adventures ahead.
Best,
T & J
Video Caption:
Unbeknownst to us, as we were exiting the West cut in Makemo, Sv Flora was filming our exit.
What a gift and a joy it was to receive this video via Starlink (which never would have been possible a few years) during our two night passage to Tahiti.
As cruisers know usually the best photos come from other cruisers, who are in the same slice of paradise as you under sail out on the water.
It’s not unusual for a thoughtful cruiser that you have never met to take a photo of your boat and then track you down so that they can share it 😁
Wiebke and Ralf – you take the cake !!! Literally and figuratively 😄. Thank you for creating such a professional video and wonderful memory. It was great spending time with you.
You rock!!!
