Nous avons fait la mise à  l'eau de Born Free le 23 juin dernier à  la marina Gosselin. Après plusieurs semaines de travaux effectués par Sébastien: l'éolienne, l'installation du GPS, le passe-coque pour notre toilette, les armoirs intérieur pour avoir plus de rangement et quelques bricoles par-ci par-la  et bien nous sentons que Born Free est en pleine forme pour les Bahamas. Il ne reste que la location de notre maison à  Lachine et l'attente de la date du grand départ soit pour début Septembre 2007. Pour le moment nous profitons de chaque moment avec nos amis et notre famille avant notre départ. Voici une petite visite virtuelle de Born Free. ... read more

Hey hey, i arrived in New York on thursday morning at like 1am, not great. After dodging the dodgy cab drivers at the airport, i finally found my shuttle ride and arrived at the hostel. there was a 3hr time change so i lost a few hours and ended up sleeping in til midday. after that i was in desperate need of some clean clothes and so made my way down to the local laundrette, what an experience that was. it seemed like it was in a neighbourhood much like that of say the fitzroy comission flats, bit seedy, but educational all the same. given the hostel did not have the atmosphere the others had, and i was worried i wouldn't meet people to hang out with, i started chatting to a guy in the laundry, ... read more

I got to meet his parents, and also catch up with my school friends from Princeton. We went into NY city afterwards, and had a great dinner out with Bootsy, Brad, Jane & Dwyer. ... read more
