It was 2009 and I was working in a theatre in Milan. That summer I hauled out my boat and began fixing her up. I painted the entire hull white, inside and out, and added a bit of cabin space by covering part of the cockpit toward the stern. I also thinned the mast from the spreaders to the top and completely redid the electrical system, even adding a CD player!
I had bought Flesh in Livorno in the year 2000, and after nine years the boat needed some care. We sailed together around Sardinia and Corsica, as well as through the Tuscan archipelago, and then I decided to move her to Ancona in the Adriatic sea for some yard work. I made the trip both with crew and solo, passing south of Sicily.
