Stay safe and have a very enjoyable trip, Simon. Did I understand you correctly that it is you plus one other onboard?
Did you have to do very much to the boat for this trip? Charles ------------- 'MERIDIAN LADY' 320 Nr 536 2010 Medway |

Sitting in bar at marina in san miguel , cold beer , warm weather.
Whilst trip out was no record breaker, Gertha performed well , most of the boats above us were striped out racing machines with polished hulls and mad crews. If there was a class for fast cruisers who race with cooked meals and showers, not boil in the bag and wet whipes, Gertha would be top or nearly top. Another small factor is the rating system that I do not understand and Hanse are not designed to get best from. Return trip starts on Tuesday looks like flat calm for two days. Before winds kick in on thursday. Could be a lot of luck in first two days. The Azores are lovly islands well worth a visit. Simon ------------- Swanned off |
