Rich has landed in lanzarote and is sounding great. He was met on the dock by Ben and Angelo from a Swan 80 they are feeding him and giving some manly bear hugs and a few (lame) jokes. He has to stay there for 12 hours, so he will leave at about 11pm tonight. He sounded in good form, and stronger than ever. A few repairs to do. Bret Perry his sponser from RG650 also has a team there to meet him with a few friendly smiles!!! Legendary work….what an amazing international community we have…there is always someone in every port waiting to say g’day Rich!!! GO HEWS!!!!!!
