Windsurf - ARC preparations



Preparations and preparations...
Too much preparations on  Pontoon L, and probably on the rest of the pontoons.
Everybody likes to start the Crossing to the Carib...
All boats are provisioned except the fresh vegetables, fruits and meat. 
We get a  bit nervous and time is going very slow. We are glad that there are many meetings (the sundowners) and activities to do and seminars to learn more about the handling of the Atlantic. Subjects such as wheather forecast, navigation, provisioning, safety activities, etc. are the most important items to learn more about, especially for the Mid Atlantic area.
Yesterday we got green light from the organisation that our boat is very good equipped and safe for take off.   Pfff we were glad, because that was a lot of work. More than we have thought it would be... Crossing the Atlantic is quite different than crossing the Med....
We cannot stop reading and learning about it. Very interesting. Also the ideas of other sailors. You learn a lot from eachother and from the different types of boats and how they are prepared for the trip.... To all the sailors to the Cape Verde : lots of succes with the second half of your trip ! We are proud of our neighbours Boat Cadans and Boat Mathilde!
Bye, bye, see you in the Carib, probably at the Sundowner drinks !
