Mum at Nevis with Linley, me (the ears!) and neighbour's kids. Maybe Howard as a baby on the far left. About 1949, I'd be 3 yrs old. She was such a sweet-looking young thing, still in her twenties.

Julio Villar is the first Spaniard to sail single-handed around the world. He didn't do it as part of a highly-publicised sporting event but anonymously, in silence, as a voyage of personal discovery. The boat he used was the same model that I'm sailing today, an Amel Mistral Super Sport.

Approaching our home marina on Sloughi.

I have sold my sailboat (the 6-metre Amel Pampero 'Korora' designed in 1969) and now have a share in her big sister: the 7-metre Amel Mistral 'Sloughi'. I will still be able to sail in Korora whenever I like since she stays in the same marina and the buyers are friends.

María Antonia Dans (1922 - 1988) is one of my favourite Galician painters.

Estamos perdidos en un mundo de bulos, postureo y falta absoluta de criterio moral o estético.
We are lost in a world of fake news, fake art, gaslighting and total lack of moral or artistic criteria.
