Mike and his crew had an amazing stop-over in Antigua. They passed their Yacht Masters course after a rigorous week of training and two days of exams. Just another qualification that will enable Mike to increase his knowledge and experience of the oceans.
With the formalities over, Mike and Mathieu will leave Antigua this evening and pick up an additional crew member in Guadlope. They will then continue the long haul to Brazil , a trip that they expect will take two weeks.
Pangaea leaves her anchor on the Hudson River on the 9th of October and 6 days later arrives in the small port of Peurto Rico. Now in Antigua, Pangaea will rest for a few days before Mike and his crew take on the long sail to Salvador, Brasil.
12th September 2013 – Pangaea arrives in Boston harbour after two days of saling into headwinds of 4- 5 knots.
Here Mike and the crew will stop for a few days and put new logos on tPangaea's hull.
We are happy to announce the new patnership with Generali Brasil Seguros, one of the most significant players in the global insurance and financial products market.
The mountain can bring us a lot of joy but also sadness.
Yesterday Mike and myself left for Broad Peak in search of three young Iranians who had been lost on the mountain around 8'000m of altitude. It was difficult for us because we knew that it is impossible to stay alive at that altitude without food or water. 7'500meters is already regarded as the 'death zone'. Should we risk it? We decided to go but mainly to offer suport to the family rather than to save the lives of the climbers. Unfortunately the harsh reality of the mountain is each for themselves at these altitudes. Any rescue mission espcially that on a mountain ridge can be regarded as mission impossible.
May God accept these youths into his Kingdom.
Yesterday the mountain presented us with sadness.

Montagne tu nous apportes beaucoup de joie mai aussi dela tristesse.
Hier Mike et moi nous sommes parti au Broad Peak ,rechercher 3 jeunes iranien qui on disparutdepuis 3 jours vers 8000m d’ altitude. Un difficile choix c’est pausé, car nous savon qu’ a 8000m 3jours sans manger et boire, la vie a cette altitude est impossible (on dit 7500m la zone de la mort).Devons nous risquer un sauvetage ?Nous sommes parti plus pour un soutien moral au famille que pour sauver des vies .Car la dure réalité de l’Himalaya fait que chaque personne ne peux compté que sur lui-même a ces altitudes .Tout sauvetage spécialement sur une arrête nous est mission impossible ,mai donner du soutien était notre devoir.
Que dieux les accueils dans sa maison. Hier pour nous la montagne a été tristesse.
