After fantastic help from Joaquin - the owner of the Davila Marina in Bouzas, Vigo - and a prompt response from Raymarine in England and Barcelona - we have fitted the new radar, which works perfectly, and we plan to set off within an hour. The weather forecast for the 5 day passage to the Azores looks benign.

Greetings to all our readers!
