Friends of the Eye : our gossip
The contact page for people who sailed in the Eye of the Wind. As we're such a wide-spread bunch, this may be the place to get in contact again with your old travel mates. You may notice this is not the familiar look of this place. But indeed, due to a huge spam problem, I had to upgrade the place. So about everything is different from what it was and I did not fully understand the design tricks yet. But as soon as I did, you'll get the varnished timber back, I promise!! :)
Also, due to now more than 2000 porn and other junk entries, we now require a log-in to post, hoping to keep the robots off. I am tired of dealing with all that crap.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but otherwise the forum gets flooded under junk. For any questions, please email to: At the beginning of the address, put friendsgossip, then the "at" symbol, then my family name, which is Koys. At the end, close with .de for Germany. Sorry for providing a riddle, but sometimes 800 spams per day is enough to me. I have to do something about that. Hope, this helps both of us - you and me.
The fastest message board....ever.

First I met Peter on the Pacific journey when he was a watch mate of mine. I was pretty astonished to hear this 100 days ocean crossing was his frist sailing voyage ever. I'd never been that brave.
He asked me wheather I climbed the mast for sail handling and I said "About anyone does." He said he wouldn't as he was retired already and too old for such exercises. I said I wasn't sure about that as many people (including me) thought before this was an unusual, acrobatic thing to do. But after a while they see one doesn't have to be anything special to do so and they join the crowd without much thinking of it. But Peter stayed on deck for the whole journey.
We met again on the Farewell Voyage 4 years later. And on Daniele's Video of the last furl you can see him working on the yards...
