Status of preparations
From the old to-do list in this blog http://linocat.blogspot.com/2009/02/equipment-planning.html
many things are done:
On Sunday night i will drive to Portimao by car. It should be around 2600km and will go via Paris to the atlantic then south to Bilbao and all across spain to Lisboa in Portugal and then down to Portimao. My dad yn myself will take turns and we will use my old VW van which has been sold to a friend.
The Waeco freezer will be tested on the way. I got paper maps and navigation system in the car. Sounds pretty much like planning a sailing trip :-)
2 new life vests have been purchased and also Grotamar 1 which i will add to the Diesel due to the long storage cycle (12 Months almost).
The carpenter should have addes some vents to the existing cupboards and should have installed two more cupboards in the aft cabins. Curious to see them! I hope the work is done properly since i had no chance to check it.
I will report next week :-)
