Hello again! Phil and Chris have been keen for me to do some work on the blog, but life has been very busy and chaotic lately. New cruising equipment has been added to Basanti, the boat has been out of the water for new bottom paint and a few thru hull fittings and things were really stressful for a while.
Chris painted the propeller and polished the hull.
Phil doing some wiring for our wind generator.
Lots and lots of work has been done on the boat, the crew are all fairly exhausted and ready to sail away. Last week the weather was terrible...not at all suitable for cruising, so we had a few extra days to do some last minute jobs and shopping. We still probably don't have everything, but Basanti is full. Today we have a break in the weather and plan to sail up to another marina north of the city for tonight.
We hope to ease ourselves into the cruising lifestyle with some daysails up the coast, but the weather has to cooperate and we'll try and let everyone know where we are when we can get internet.
Ready or not...here we go.
