We're off!

The yard, miraculously, came back this morning with all the hydraulic tubing and imperial attachments one could ever hope for.

We quickly downloaded the charts, bought some food, and calibrated the autopilot in the bay - so far so good.

We are now embarking on a 100 mile trip to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and should be there by morning.
