Day 65 9th November

Stefano hugs his engine one final time, his companion for more then two months and and 6500 km.

 

Boats tied for one last time. As they posed for photo with boats for last time, thought finally sunk in, that expedition is finally over. It was very special and bit emotional moment for crew members.

Expedition may have ended, but much work is pending, endless paper work, awaits.
