So we've finally come to this. Another great jump. One to actually sail. Bringing some more warm weather. It is however, incredibly sad to leave this fantastic place on earth. But for all farewells there is always some new welcomes!


Polynesia is on the Horizon (or... to be fair. Not really yet for another 50 days or so...)...





Plan is to arrange all necessary arrangements during next week and head off before the weekend.


- Food shopping and stove away these

- PCR test for departing (also possibly needed for entry in Polynesia)

- Customs

- Armada (coast guard)

- Immigrations, as my VISA is expired this will be intresting to see what will be the result.


Rest of everything seem to be done, it's been partly hectic and some extra waiting, more than I would think...


- We've serviced the furling system for the main sail, actually seem to work quite well now. wow!

- Electric drive for the hydraulic system to the furler for the Genoa is back up and running! Great!

- AIS is activated again, that was surprisingly easy to fix.

- Gas alarm once again operational

- New anti fouling

- Polished and waxed (Even though the difference these days aren't that big...)

- New super duper ultra amazing logos on the bow

- Old equipment used in Patagonia removed

- re galvanized the anchors

- New setup for the spreader boom / spinnaker pole

- new zinks installed

- Bled and changed the entire hydraulic steering system

- New setup for windvane

- refilled diesel

- refilled water

- refilled cooking gas

..... I can go on and on forever... But you really don't care anyways. Just proving a point here. I have been doing something. A little every day. Slowly but steady!


So... Now we... yes... Actually not alone any more. Skah, was traveling around in Panama when he finally decided to join the boat and head out into the unknown. Super nice not to be alone! But feeling super ready to head out right now!


So... I guess you'll hear from me in about 30-50 days? At best, if I have anything really to say. I doubt it though!





Cheerio!
