Welcome to our last issue of the year 2025. 

On New Year’s Eve, a witchy-type of woman told me that this would be the year that we would pick the fruits of our labour. She read it on a Tarot card or crystal ball or something like that. But I like to indulge in these affirmations or predictions or whatever you call them. As long as they are positive. I like to look out for them and, err, I guess, affirm the affirmation. 

For my family and me the year started with the 12.720 NM monster delivery of a 20m catamaran from Mallorca to Fiji. And yes, if my 20 years of work in yachting were all in preparation for this incredible experience, I definitely picked some very tasty fruits. 

Did 2025 bring you the culmination of efforts you invested in the past years? 

As 2026 approaches, it’s great to look up to stars and planets, but meanwhile our Islander team (a bunch of stars) has started to plan it!
