13 Juni 2016 | Griekenland, Préveza
Its, monday 13 May......2016!!! Twelve years ago...I was here at Preveza Airport and by scooter with Kees Groeneveld and Barry both sailing with me from Sardinie and picking up Rene Groeneveld and Marieke. Both coming for worlds regatta Europe...with smiling faces and both looking forward for the 2004 Olympics at Athens.....our girls just 17 and 18 years just in the beginning of dreaming of a carriere in Olympic sailing, ...so now it was time to feel the trill to be a participating member of the Dutch Olympic team in upcoming events. I am nog sure but at this event we didn,t gained one madell at all!!! The Greek citizens where out of the City by the start of The Games...and zepelins, helicopters for safety everywhere....and even our pasports where taken.....just because we wanna have a glimms of our sailors.....nothing was possible......these days at Athens. However we did got a thrill and we loves the Games and our girls where more convinced....they shall play a roll at the next 2008 Olympics China....how mindsetting get be involved!!! However nor Rene nor Marieke where ready for Qingdao, again it was Lobke with Marceline and winns second place in the 470 class. And Mandy Mulder with Annemiek Bes en Merel Witteveen..they catched silver...welldone... And I think our surfer wins Gold too..so..top. Then its 2012; i sailed to London around Brittan, and we all became wired of the wide screens in the city and top entertainment at Alexandrium Palace...again a perfect Olympics Games ever....with medals for our Surfer and bronze for Lobke now with Lisa ...and Rene did the Matchrace circuit...but due to hudge battles, she did battled it out without results....but this doesn,t matters: Rene got here first Olympics....and Mariek?....
Its a longstory but in short its was just an Australian and Greek fighting battle for her...with her couches Victor and Illias; its a matter of caracther and culture: both didn,t a good job to get her way to RIO 2016.... Even Renee fighted till the last second and missing her ticket also just in two points!!! So also our girls are not in RIO2016
Here in July 2004 in Prevesa, Today 13 June i have mine dejavue!!!
You understand???
The adriatic Sea is nice, calm, bright, sunny and friendly people however the Montenegro people most decicated to Russian tourist are more nice, kindly and with different food charts, the Venice watertaxi concept do facinating me up till today and wintersport from Marina Santelena is superb.....empty pistesse, beautyfull mountains...Cortina and The Dolemites are fabulous....., then sailing back out of the Adriatic is in May challeging by thunderweather, no wind, to much wind...anyhow...we arrved in Corfu Greeche......Her does start heaven on Earth, with magnifiek swimming pools, lovely white beaches and Paxos island is heaven to stay for ever!!!
This first voyage in 2016 is a great succes with Jarno Strik and Dahpne van Duren on board from Venice...no experience atall, so seasickness is always around the door..also for Jarno, however Daphne, just pragnet.....didnot have any problem by sailing in bigger waves and both enjoyed a lot on board. Then Marjan,s programm was mainly scheduled around swimmingpools and so we did....
The weather patern also here is rather unpredictable....today its cloudy, raining and much colder....22 degrees...its time to go home and pray for good summer conditions up coming weeks,....anyway...we come back to Preveza by 20 september and continuing our voyage along the Greek islands up to Marmaris Turkye....
Your wanna join me, do it hesitate to arange such a challeging trip for a week or month....its up to you....your are welcome..
For now we will watch the RIO 2016 Games at home TV; most healthy way without hazzle of virusus, bacteria or other lifetreating matters, most founded overthere like the new zika desaster....
We hope for six Medals!!! Never we may have somany sailors with good change.....so unfortunaly again without Marieke en Renee...
We will see,
Enjoy the Games
And see you later
