Our paperwork is finally done, our boat is packed and the winds are in our favour.  Within the hour, we’re going to hoist are sails and head towards France.

Our time in Spain and Barcelona in particular has been filled with olive infused foods, hot days and preparations.  The sky is cloudless and the temperatures will once again reach 36 degrees ,  there are no winds yet but in about an hour they will start.  The weather is predicted to be good for the next day and a half and then a blow from the North is coming and we’ll need to find a safe spot to wait it out.

Leif is adjusting well to life on the boat.  His room is the V berth, which is the most spacious area at the front of the boat.  Both he and Colin were sick for the last while. Leif had a form of measles called Roseola and then both him and Colin caught a flu, but now the boys have almost recovered.

Well it’s now time to go.

Fair winds!
