Captain Sanja, Dutch Jelle, and Dutchess Eva left Mindelo and set sail for Martinique about one hour ago. Co-owner and officially acknowledged weakling Philipp stayed on land and is on his way to his Mama. The boat is tested, inspected, cleared in and out and equiped with everything it needs to nourish its crew and to withstand even the most awkward situations at sea. Sea state and weather conditions are notoriously harmless, and maybe even pleasant at times, during this time of the year in the area in question. It is only the mental strength of the crew that will be challenged, otherwise no further excitements are expected during the approximately 18 days at sea. Potential updates via sattelite phone will be relayed by me on this blog. Good luck Kiwi!
Happy crossing!
