December 31st

All the crew has arrived safe and sound in Agadir.  Final preparations on the boat took place yesterday and we got out for a short sea trial in the afternoon.  A bit rusty but that will improve:  Today we have one final adjustment to make to the boat and if this can be done quickly we will leave today to take the boat under engine to Tarfaya which is about 300 km to the south.  This journey should take about 40 hours.  There we will drop off the engine and some equipment before starting the row:  The crew is getting to know each other a bit better at this stage and the snoring ability of one member is something to witness....Apart from, that all is going well...the boat is very well prepared...the weather looks good for the the next few days....the bags are packed.....so next stop New Years Eve at sea...then Tarfaya and then we are off.  Happy new year everyone.
