Martinique has been Milanto’s Caribbean charter base for the past few years, so coming into the marina and seeing the same faces on the dock, in the capitainerie, the patisserie and even the laundry, is like coming home. We used the time to rest, reset and repair Milanto and ourselves, so now with two extra crew we point Milanto’s bow towards home, first via Antigua, the Azores, Gibraltar and finally Viareggio, Italy.
But first, we had the sad task of parting ways with our band of brothers from Sea Lover and Loumaran, with whom we have sailed in convoy and navigated together through challenging times in past year.
