We made it to the first stopover yesterday. All 4 hours of the trip. The new rigging stayed up and we hit 7.5 knots in 6 knots of wind. A clean hull is a wondrous thing when your sailing. I have based our proposed itinerary on covering only 120 miles a day, very conservative.
We anchored in the bay at about 4 yesterday, and then had gin and tonic to celebrate! After a cold dinner of pizza, lettuce, tomato and coleslaw it was off to bed. That’s when the wind bullets started arriving off the mountain nearby. I checked we were not dragging a couple of times and gave the dinghy painter a couple of extra knots as well. All was OK.
We have come ashore and I have bought a couple of SIM cards with data from Vodaphone. I’m now sitting in a restaurant that is not open, but I have booked for dinner tonight.
The photos are of the Bay from the veranda.
All good on board.

Looks beautiful there and it sounds as if all the expense was worth while. Hope the rest of the trip goes as well as the first leg. Judith
