It has been intense days getting ready for the crossing. Avi just got back from El Corte Ingles with the last things. Freezer and fridge are full.
Yesterday our washing machine broke. Fortunatly we managed to get a new one in a shop only 10 min walk from the Marina. Five ours later the new machine was installed.
We will update our position over Iridium and SSB. If we will also try to send short updates to our twitter account.
On Friday we will leave Las Palmas and sail the 850 Nm to Cape Verdes.
Have a nice sailing

Always better to sail with clean outfits…..safe travels.
Now, we are the lone HR in Castine, Maine…..Mike Mainen sold his to a new owner who keeps it in Camden, just across Penobscot Bay from Castine.

Wish you a nice sail and that trip I have done 2 times and the sailing is nice and easy. Watch out for immigrants and try to avoid them…. Cap Verde is a good stop but as you are fully stocked you will only need some vegetables and fruits, but enjoy the Mindelo marina bar. Best regards. Paul. S/Y New Dawn HR-53.
Have a good trip guys and don’t forget to turn the eggs
We wish you Fair winds and gentle seas
