Olivier (L) and Matthew (R) working on the boom between Bahamas and Bermuda

Matthew green behind the ears. 200 miles and another 3800 to go

Matthew after 4000 miles. He can whip up a reef in total darkness and shake it just as easily

On day one Matthew figured out where to spread. Thereafter we photographed him sleeping very often

Olivier devours books as fast as Cénou logs mileage

Matthew was the girl's invaluable entertainment. Watching movies, doing beads, origami etc

Is that a bed with a big fluffy pillow to starboard?

Matthew going forward in a rain squall looking like he just woke up which is probably the case.

Matthew checking out the overhang.

Invited the day before for a yearly island party Matthew is there. The tide will swallow it all soon

Before

24 years old, single, super friendly, fun, great with kids, athletic and ready to go. . .

Good-by Matthew, see you soon and thank you. . .
