With regards to swimming skills - we have a bunch of life jackets, safety plot and dinghy (small boat) or board :) Actually we have also met some dolphins (both night and day time) but we didn’t managed to get more pics/videos due to various reasons like no camera nearby at a time or poor camera capabilities to make night photos.

We have made best effort to study as much as possible before we went to the trip and though we had few issues during this sailing, most of the things were known. I would also mention that Dmitry is a holder of a day skipper diploma (though it does not cover open sea sailing and night sailing). He also have some experience with long distance sailing, since he did some during his studies for the diploma. I also have some sailing experience (though not for such distances) and had no problems during the trip. Anyhow, the trip went very good, we got a whole bunch of new experience, pleasure and whatever else. I am glad you like the photos as well, though it is obvious that with our simple cameras and no knowledge of photography, we just got some minor bits from the whole trip to share with everyone :) I fill like I should get more into photography to be able to bring more to people :) Actually you are the first to tell us we are nuts :)

I'm glad though that everything turned out OK and that you are back safely, and that you enjoyed the trip. Nice photos too.
