The Ocean's World project, whose manager is Unai Basurko since his participation in the Velux 5 Oceans race, called for a little party yesterday announcing the launching of the Pakea's sailing club (Pakea is the name of the class Open 60 raceboat to be skippered byy Unai in the next edition of the Vendeé Globe, sailing around alone and non-stop). In the last months some similar intitiatives have arisen, trying to expand this still elitist sport in our country (I mean sailing). I wish they will succeed and we'll see our Cantabric sea pupulated of sails in a close future.

After the meeting, where I found some well known faces and some completely unknown ones, Unai made an passionate speech about the Club's guidelines and later we were invited to try a fantastic meal (specially the paella, a typical spanish dish made of rice) and to drink some cold beers. That was the best moment of the party, while we all compite for telling the biggest lie about our sailing experiences.

The club's pet was also introduced to us. It's this sort of a pirate made of laton. I don't know how many people signed for the Club but, right now, I have to refuse signing because an unbreakable oath ties me to the TRASA (Trashy Sailboats Association), created by the old good skippers: Gorka, Jon, Oscar, Manu, Jesus and myself, several years ago.

Una buena tarde, gente que vive la mar, un poco de cerveza y paella para cenar.
