After this rather cold night, I protected VivaLaVida in its winter quarters where it spent 6 months in peace. I took it out a month ago to do a full service and prepare it for new discoveries this summer.

As you read these lines, Emile and I are somewhere with her discovering new lands. I will tell you all about it soon..

Have a great summer everyone and see you soon here ! 😀

PS: While the VLV route was no longer displayed on the map pages since Google Maps changed the terms of use of its services a few months ago, I have updated these pages with new maps that present the VLV route until October this year.
