1-2 August
On Sunday the 2nd we will go out for the first time just to make some tests and training. There is a huge island called Vancouver Island, which will be our last station before we open to the Big Ocean. Although it is very near, it will take us a couple of days to reach it. The rest 1200 miles until Ensenada (this is almost the length of Europe) will be sailed in only 12 consecutive days. We will not stop anywhere in the US, in order to avoid the unhospitable Customs, the high marina prices and mostly the "american temperament". Of course, in an emergency we will hurry there.
After 10 days I am used to a new more "primitive" life. Combined with the experience in Florida, I observe that one needs a whole week till he gets used to a new environment. That means in order to "live holidays" you need to be away for more than a week, which is a priviledge of a few people. On the other side if you can leave for only a few days, only a privately owned house can offer an essential rest, which is still for a few ones. In conclusion, for the many real holidays still remains a dream, sorry guys.
The most of the hours pass with philosophical discussions. Because it is a huge story that is impossible to explain now, I only state that eventualy I agreed with captain's idealistic philosophy as:
