It was very hard two years to a) get PANTIKI ready for offshore sailing,
b) get PANTIKI to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, app 1500 sm from Volos,
Greece, via Kalamata, Patras, Aegio, Ithaka, Crotone (Italy), San Vito (Sicilia),
Mallorca, Ibiza, Almerimar, La Linea (Gibraltar), finally Las Palmas on Jan. 1st.
The two weeks in Las Palmas were very busy with issues of the generator (PAGURO), chargers (we changed to Victron) and all the details that are mandatory for the ARC.
It was sweetened by the welcome-committee of our sons, her spouses and three
grandchildren- so emotional after the longest time offshore so far.
Now- on the evening before the start - checking last emails, company issues,
paperwork for dog and immigration to Saint Lucia. Looking forward to good times.
