SOIREE MUSICALE ABOARD S/V JOHANNES BRAHMS Golfito, Costa Rica, Saturday, January 02, 2010

I realise that I forgotten to blog about the wonderful evening we had a few months ago aboard S/V Johannes Brahms out of Haifa, Israel. Joel (Israeli) and Patricia (Columbian) extended the invitation, and although we had seen Joel’s baby grand piano we had yet to hear him play. He is wonderful and capable of all types of piano literature from classic to jazz to pop. To get the grand piano into the boat required some structural modification of the main hatch and some removal of the bulkhead to the forecastle. He also had to remove the piano's rear leg.

Here are some pictures .

My attempts to attach a video of Joel playing Chopin failed miserably.

Also present: were Tom and Beate Lewandowsi (S/V Luka, Poland); Ron & Diane of S/V Batwing; Linda of S/V Linda Lea
