I mentioned already a few times the 12 m race boat “sleeper” on which I was a crew member in the 90s.

Yesterday we had a small reunion on board of MaRe being in maintenance mode and on the hard. Not the most beautiful place for a reunion but one with very good feelings and lots of talks about what everybody remembers.

It was Taro-san, who OBM and I invited originally. However, he is in touch with Kohama-san and brought him along. So we had a wonderful small reunion. Last time we met Taro-san in 2021 at our place in Tokyo, but Kohama-san we met the last time in the mid to the end of the 90s.

We decided that we will sail along together when MaRe is back in the water and that we have another reunion with the crew members Taro-san is in touch with including Takebe-san the wife of the one of the late owners of “sleeper” once MaRe floats in the water I’m at the place of the Arari Ship Builders.

We also set-up a Signal messenger group to stay in touch with each other.

I’m now curious who will come to the next “sleeper” reunion.
