Across the Mediterranean in a Mini: Mini Sisters, Part 2

Came across minis #126 and #146 in Genoa. Saw them on the train ride, and could only take this picture.

About

Welcome to this blog documenting my crossing of the Mediterranean, from Mallorca, Spain to Marmaris, Turkey, in a minitransat.

A minitransat is a 6.50m (22ft) sailboat designed to go very very fast. Used to race from France to Brazil, they typically carry lots of sail and have advanced design features. Mine has a canting keel, canards, a planing body shape, and an awesome green color.

I'm a computer scientist in his late thirties. Until I started on this voyage, I spent 99% of my time building software systems.

The Mediterranean is a large body of water between Europe and Africa. I hope to cross it from west to east during the summer of 2011.
