Clea’s dream


Clea: “For my birthday, I wanted to hold a koala. So today, I did it. I am so happy that I had that dream and that I could do it for real”.

Scratch, scratch, scratch. Ca gratouille les tetes a bord depuis quelques jours. Ce matin, la mauvaise surprise s’est concretisee : oui, les poux sont de retours a bord. Nous avions fait leur rencontre avant notre depart du Cap, et la, je pouvais incrimier l’ecole. Leur origine est aujourd’hui plus suspecte mais le resultat est le meme. Tout l’equipage a donc subit un traitement de choc et les enfants profitent des seances de peigne fin pour etre la tete sur les genoux de leur maman.
Cléa: « Aujourd’hui, c’est mon anniversaire et j’ai eu tout ce que je voulais »
Bon anniversaire petit matelot!
This is such a common question we’ve been asked regularly. However, it s not so easy to answer and our replies are all different:
Greg, straight away: “I come from Cape Town”
Emmanuelle after a smile and few seconds of silence: “I am French, but I lived 11 years in South Africa, then we travelled for two years and now we are in Australia”
Victor, very proud: “I am South African but my mum is French”
Felix, always happy to start a conversation: “I am from South Africa, from Cape Town”. He will explain latter that he lives on a boat and that he has been cruising around the world.
Clea, with her big eyes opened: “???”. She really has no idea where she comes from as she spent ½ of her life travelling through more than 20 countries.
We could elaborate as we come from our experiences, encounters, travels, loves and our roots seem to always be important, where ever they are.
