My mom passed away, and we gathered in my home country, Switzerland to celebrate a life that was anything but ordinary. A world-class skier. A woman who thrived wherever she landed. Her final wish was to return to the earth beneath the pines overlooking the lake and mountains. So that's where she is now.
I am visiting for a few days and I wen to to see my cousin who's working on his racing dinghy. I took the train and realized how perfect Switzerland is. A short journey through Swiss public transport — from mountain railways to intercity lines, from the subway called La Ficelle to the shores of Lake Geneva where my cousin's family has been racing sailboats for generations. A lake where Dennis Connor, Ellen MacArthur, and the Bertarellis have all competed. My cousin’s crew that's won the Bol d'Or twice.
Then up into the mountains for dried beef, local wine, and the kind of family gathering that reminds you what actually matters. But I’m craving adventure and it waits on my boat Galopin in the Gambia
