Been in France for more than a month now. The crossing from the Canaries to Grenada will take less time. The good news is that we are locked and loaded. Sunday, Michelle, the French crew member arrives and Rocky departs. We may set sail Sunday night or Monday morning. Wave hight is good but still windy - 25 knots. We are anxious to get going. We tested our new gennaker just to have a look see. It is very pretty, however some the gear to use it properly was not here and is being shipped to a southern Portugal marina for pickup on the way down.
I have been in France for over a month and living on the boat since December 21st. Finally we are to depart from La Rochelle tonight. Michelle, the forth member of the crew, arrived today. His picture below. He is getting a tour of the boat. Then we are off to dinner and then we set sail with the tide. We are targeting Gijon on the north coast of Spain. It will take two days. We are expecting another front otherwise we would try to round the headland toward Portugal. We will most likely hold up in Gijon until the front passes. At least it will be a change of scenery.
