The 18th of April 2013 was the day the deal was done to buy Elyse.
Ornella was one of my crew on our maiden voyage in Elyse from Noumea to Port Vila. She is in New Zealand as one of the crew on the superyacht Sassafrass which is currently berthed at Pier 21 in Auckland. She called today to say that she and her boyfriend Fred would come and visit later in the day. Well they arrived at about 1800 and didn't leave until 2330.

They came laden with food and wine and made a dinner that was just superb....Vin Jaune from Jura, where Ornella was born, leek soup then foie gras with caramelised onions and toasts, green salad and a potato / broccoli dish and for dessert baked bananas with chocolate and rum!
