The Blue Machine

Jan 27 2010


I am a fairly large guy, standing 6’1’’ (186 cm) with a barrel chest measuring about 50 inches (127 cm). So, consider that we have this very special car in France that we have coined The Blue Machine. It belongs to my friend and crewmember JC Caso and dates back to 1982.  He lives here in La Rochelle and The Blue Machine is part of his everyday life - he claims it is an “original French car," whatever that means.  I share this with you because seeing three grown men (including me) and about $500 in groceries (provisions for the Transatlantic) crammed into The Blue Machine is quite a sight.  I simply don’t know how we fit, but here is a photo to prove it!
