23 and 24 July
There were extremely many new things happened in the last 24 hours. A whole new life has emerged here. Firstly I have a very unstable internet connection that I have "hacked" sitting with the laptop on the deck of the boat, so the posts might not be as frequent as in the future. Of course during the sailing there will be no communication, except the special long-range sailing radio organs etc. So...
I can barely describe my new experience and I will not get into it. I just write some facts: the sailing boat is our home, our job, our world. It is a masterpiece, hand-made with steel and wood, having 6 tons of lead underneath for stability and safety. I get instantly used to its spaces. After 24 hours onboard it is like being here for a month! The captain has spend thousands of dollars for its safety which is always the first on the list. There are at least 5 levels of plan in case of an emergency (Plan B is just not enough).
A fast schedule of ours: we are preparing the boat in our base here in Vancouver for about a week. Afterwards, in the beginning of August we will start making some tests for another week going to the beautiful Vancouver Island. If all goes well, in the middle of August we will be heading southwest into the Pacific Ocean, all the way down to Mexico. You will be the first to know this... after me...
