Hello,
We departured Las Palmas yesterday at 1300 hours after a two week preparatory stay in the marina. During this time we have prepared the boat, made provisioning, attended seminars and partying:=), there was a pary almoast every night!
How ever yesterday morning we left accopanied by live music and cannon fiering!
The start went really well and we were amongst the first to go, but we were pretty soon owertaken by the larger yahts but kept at least a 100 behind us. We seem to have been chosen a bit more westerly toute than the other ones because now 24hrs later we can only see 1 yacht!
The wind is ok approx 15knots and the waves ca 3 meters so it is a smooth ride.
Everybody is in good moods and kids are enjoying it!
Last statement may be a bit overestimated because Lucas and Sofie are actually feeling a bit green,,, but they will survive (hopefully)
remember that you can follow our position on:

Please note that no attachments will come to this e-mail so only text (goes through sat phone)
Take care and regards from everyody!
