When we were in A Coruna Spain, a captain of another boat ask me which direction we were headed, North or South. I told him South and he said that was the wrong way with a slight chuckle. He stated that he had engine trouble and would be stuck in A Coruna for at least another week getting it fixed. He proceeded to tell me that he had a crew member that was running low on money and needed to get home. He was hopping that we could take her with us.

Ready but not Ready

Within the last month, all projects and maintenance work has come together. We hauled out and spent 11 days on the hard. We did everything. We polished, painted, demasted the mast, installed a new water maker and a satellite telephone. We were originally planning to leave this weekend, the 29th of June but the sailing gods seemed to have other planes for us.
