6-9 August
This is really the last post before we start the trip. We called an expert on sailing boats to review the preparations we have done and he had absolutely no comment. Everything is perfectly built and prepared. The "subsystems" include:
1) the engine with its own battery system and full with 700 liters of petrol
2) the very strong rigging system and the 7 (4 plus 3 spares) sails
3) the navigation devices: 24-miles radar, GPS and depth-sounder as well as handheld GPS and of course VHF-radio
4) the safety subsystem: 3 safety boats (dinghy, inflatable boat and life-raft), EPIRB, man-over-board and emergency food and water
5) the internal electrical system, powered by the 170 Watts solar panel
6) the drinking water system: about 200 liters in 3 tanks and many other places
7) the food "subsystem": enough noodles, tuna, powder-milk and other stuff
8) the spare parts and tools: many enough to fix almost everything
9) the paper-work: the boat-diary, boat-papers, licences, flags and the stuff
Well that's it. During the trip I will just relax, discuss about Platonic Philosphy with the captain, learn some spanish and take looong naps.
Hasta la vista en Ensenada amigos!
