Paulo Coelho

a] today, when I opened the mailbox, I got more than 1.000 applications. I could send close to 20 confirmations, but it will take another full day to select everybody
 
b] Paula is striving hard to get the extra table, so we can invite more people.
 
c] Don’t be discouraged if you don’t get the confirmation tomorrow. I am asking to readers who already got my email to write back, there are friends of mine who may not confirm their presence because they are away, etc. Be patient. I will post another update here, when the boat is full of confirmed guests.
 
d] Italians, you are very fast!!!
