What is the plan?

So what is the plan? The plan is not to plan to much. In April or May, if my travelschedule permits i want to use a cheap Ryanairflight to just fly to Faro and check the installations. Then in July we will move back to Europe, well not really. Only for a short visit. Then mostg likely i will drive down to Portugal in a Van (my old Volkswagen T4 in long verion) to bring some equipment to LinoCat. Things like a portable Generator (Honda 20i), diving gear and other heavy stuff.THis trip will be a nightmare from a driving disctance with 6000km in total. Anyway, it has to be done. In August then we will move onto the boat. The first month we will stay near by to check out all system in the boat and to get the last things done. Visits in August will be Sarah and Eric. In September we will then sail to Madeira and to the canaries. In Ocotber we will be in the canary islands and visitors will be Andi, Alisa, Nina, Heinz and Karin. 22nd of November we will then leave from Gran Canaria to St. Lu...
