Hey Simon,
Wow the Hanse looks like a beautiful go fast racer cruiser, nice boat! Sounds like a fun cruise good luck and fair winds. We currently sail an old Sparkman Stephens design Columbia 29 MkI sailboat. We are in the process of moving up to a Pearson Vanguard 32.

I'm from Grand Rapids Michigan USA. Is Pickard a very common name where your from? Our family here in Michigan are the only Pickards within several states. Have fun on the cruise how long are you going for?

Hi! I only just saw this... So sorry for now replying sooner.
We have just got a new Hanse 385. Heading down into the Med, and then see where we go from there!
I'm from Lincoln, UK. My Dad was born in Devon. Where are you from?

Hi Simon! I wanted to introduce myself, I'm Andrew Pickard. Our last name is not a very common spelling where I'm from so I thought I should say hi. What kind of boat do you have, and where are you from?
