Sergei at the wheel

This is Sergei, the only person who has been with me on Charlie for the entire trip from Scheveningen to Istanbul. He has been everywhere with us. Sergei had never been on a sailboat and told me that after five hours on the North Sea at the beginning of the two month voyage to Greece, "I think I want get off." But, he stayed and even taught me and the other crew members about real culture. Sergei and I have had exciting adventures on Charlie.
