Our last AI team-days in July

This event deserves a separate post - on 28-30 July me and my team sailed away in the Dutch sea (well, water before the North sea). IT WAS THE GREATEST TIME EVER!!!
We had a real boat, with 4 sails, for 26 people, and it was more than a hundred years old. REAL SAILING BOAT!
I have never boarded anything bigger than a small motor boat or a tourist barge before, and that week-end was a great experience for me.
Imagine - you set up the sails, and wind fillls them, and sails move like living and how they are moving on ships for hundreds years before you; and the boat flies faster on waves; you stand on the front, and the sun, and the breeze in your face!
We swam, we stopped (the engine on our boat broke and we had to have other ship helping us; it was a boat with Germans having a bachelors party, and of course we had with them water fight, using waters guns and other forbidden weapon such as buckets).
We ate "furiously" as Tom says (he was btw THE cook of the journey), stopped on a city called Horn for a night, walked in the city - beautiful!
Spend a night talking under the starts, and the next day - lying on the sun, sailing, drinking in the attempt to finish all alcohol before we get off the boat, lazily talking, swimming
Things I'll keep in my memory - sails up in the sky, filled with wind and sun, our talks and just silence when you just feel others and don't need to talk anything; water and other ships on the horizon, when it seems that there is no any timing now, as it have been, is now and will be always, this sea and people and we, my team, then and there.
It was a great time, very relaxed and chilled, and it seemed we are on the same wave - with the ship (obviously :)difficult otherwise :) and with each other.
Thank you darlings :)
When you get to the sea on your ship, it's just that, and no much need for anything else…
I know, I got one more dream now - go around the world on a yacht!
Watch me in some time :)
