Dala - The DALA express has left the station... for now!



Hi, all,

Yes, The DALA express has left the station... for now!
We have been very well rewarded by our northernmost option and the weather was excellent for us for the last 36 hours or so. This, in spite of the numerous problems we encountered yesterday but overcame (Thanks for your valuable help, my teammate Richard!).
For now, this continues, but I added a cautious "for now!" to the subject if this mail because the weather after the coming 24 hours seems rather unfavorable to us, and also we did only less than 1/3 of the way.

The news are not that good on the fishing front: On that leg, the situation is very simple: We caught nothing!
Yesterday, of course in the middle of the problems we met, we heard the noise of one of our trolling lines, but the fish made his way out. How frustrating!

Joelle my lovely Lady is adapting better and better by the day and didn't experience seasickness on this second leg (again: for now!) even yesterday during the rough weather we experienced.
Regarding myself, I spend my free time (there is not much of it!) understanding better how the SSB (French: BLU, Bande Laterale Unique, c'est la radio longue portee)works and reading a tourist guide about the Azores. By the way, those islands look very attractive and hospitable, hope to be there soon.

Wonderdul day to all and safe sailing to the sailors,

Albert
