Change of skipper Joan III

[Maarten]

Last Saturday Joan III won the Bay Cup 1. That was Maarten's last race as skipper on Joan III and the last time she brought a trofee home for Joan the owner.

Joan and I have sold our yacht after 6 years to Anna and Frank Michiels. Anna and Frank have sailed as crew with us many times. Frank was on the wheel at our start last week. We are sad to see good bye to this wonderful Alberg 37 but pleased that she will be in good hands.

We will continue to sail Galveston Bay and beyond but for a while this will be on other people's yachts.

Thank you all for many great moments on the water... especially those moments when we were on starboard tack or just finished ahead. Winning in the crowd sailing Galveston Bay and Gulf of Mexico is an honor because there are so many very good GBCA, HYC and LYC sailors to compete with.

Joan and Maarten
