gear

of course preparing for this trip does not only mean preparing the boat... the crew also needs to gear up and also prepare the toys!! like the kites for example or pimping up the little jimmy, getting the dust out of the diving and camping gear and getting our folding bikes (one came from Santa this year!!!! so many many thanks for the beautiful Christmas gift from manu, momo, maxi, colo & tommy!) the bikes are great. check out this video to see how small they can get, of course we will need to save all the space we can:
