After years of waiting and changing course… After 5000 staples removed and 5000 shot back….and a lot more which I’ll try to write down in the weeks to come, we finally left.

I’m now on watch cruising along the SE of Fuerteventura headed W across the pond as an English expression says.

If you feel like sailing with us I’ll try to update a (currently almost empty blog) at www.sevenseasadventure.net/blog

And you can track our progress across the Atlantic at :

If you’re brave enough to try the bad Google translation you could check Alina’s blog (Romanian only 🙁 but funnier than mine) at: ocoboco.WordPress.com

In the end we joined a small rally organized by an old acquaintance of mine Jimmy Cornell. We did that to give Paul a chance to make friends and speak some french and english. And he already did.

That’s a lot to tell… From sailing into and anchorage at night with no engine to the agony and ecstasy of boating.

The next one or two days are not so good with respect to winds but hope that it will get better.

More soon….
