Atlantic Crossing
This crossing was the pinical of the end of the time in the
Mediterranean. After the French canals I had prepared the boat
for long distance cruises out of contact with maintenance
facilities. The time on the Atlantic coast of Spain and the trip
to Madiera soon souted out the sailing ability of the crew who left in
Morocco.
Piers joined in Morocco and was a great asset right across the
Atlantic. Easy going, willing to learn and a great help above and
below deck.
We left the Canaries a week before the ARC started to get out of their
way but the wind was not there so we struggled to find wind heading
further south than the fleet. We sailed a much greater distance
and only arrived a few days before them although we did have a much
safer and smoother passage.
The blog of the crossing is here but no different from the
