We spend last night in the marina to top the batteries up to 100%, buy fresh food, bake, do washing and fill up the water tanks before heading into the Atlantic Ocean for the big crossing.

We are very happy that we are sailing off at the same time as Jazz, Tsolo ,Chalupa and probably Lola. So for the first days we might be still in radio contact.

We are excited to listen into the Magellan Net, now that we have met so many boats and crews.

It is also exciting to see the progress of those who left ahead and get some updates en route.

We miss contact with family and friends back home and hope you are all enjoying your Christmas preparations.

We would enjoy to hear from you via some text messages on iridium or e-mails.

We will keep you updated on our progress. The wind is looking good.
