Canary Islands
This summer I went to the Canary Islands with my friends. We did a lot of things there; we went to the swimming pool, partying, to the dune beach, and to the aqua park party...

Getting ready for the ARC (Atlantic Crossing)
... Insel, denn er ist einer der Hauptveranstaltungen von Gran Canaria, vergleichbar mit einem Seenachtsfest in Zürich oder Rapperswil. Egal, Zeit um mich bei meinem Skipper (Kapitän von der Segelyacht) zu melden: "Bin gut angekommen. Stehe am Eingang vom Hafen" - "Komm zum ARC Office - warte dort auf dich" - "Ok. bin unterwegs - wo ist dies?" "Puerto Marina" - "Bin hier, soeben sehe ich die AIDA EL SOL auslaufen, wo?" - "AIDA - Du bist im falschen Hafen. Hier ist keine ...
