Well, what a week. We both took our Yachtmaster theory exam today, and both passed which was a relief since we'd delayed our departure in order to complete it. We're required to log about 5000 sea miles before taking the practical exam which hopefully this trip will provide. So, just a few more last minute jobs to finish off: calorifier circulation pump needs replacing and rewiring, domestic hot water tank leaking at the outlet needs a new adapter and seal. And our ground tackle (ie: anchors) needs reassembling having bought all new shackles and a new second anchor, chain and rode. So, we expect to be underway Wednesday morning.

Buen Viaje!
Good luck to you on the marathon that you've set yourselves up for. xxxxxxxxx
Hi Jaime et al
After our email exchanges it seems I may after all have missed your departure without leaving you our numbers etc. We will be a month behind you (boat still out of the water as I write) but could yet meet somewhere in the W of Scotland in June or July. Our boat is Vega, an LM Vitesses 33. Email me your mobile number if possible, and meanwhile, good sailing!
Benj and Cath
