The preparation for our departure from
Turgetries is nearly complete with just a couple of last minute
hitches! Assuming we can solve these in the next couple of
hours we will start our journey
across the Mediterranean this
afternoon.
We expect to take up to 3 weeks to
reach Gibraltar due to the vagaries
of the Med weather. After we
have reprovisioned in Gib we will
strike off for the Canaries which
should only be a 4 day beam reach
if the normal weather
prevails.
Freewheel looks like new with her major
refit complete and our first test of the major systems also went
well this time so fingers crossed!!
Yachtworks have once again done a great
job and it will be a wrench to leave all our great friends here....
