WAITING AND PREPARING FOR OUR EPIC ATLANTIC CROSSING

So we are still in Marina Lanzarote. Having taken a trip home to do some mundane but extremely important 'estate management' ( do our tax declaration etc.!) we are getting the yacht 'more' ready for the crossing. We bought two more 100 Watt solar panels and a new MPPT controller. The Iridium-Go satellite phone is turning into a small disaster. The company who shipped it are Satphonestore in Florida and now they won't reply to my enquiries even though their shipments are missing.

Apart from this every day is "meet the neighbor yacht crew" day. Great fun talking to all the Atlantic Crossers who are congregating here.
