Well the Silver Slipper plans to leave La Coruna tomorrow,
18/09/13 and head directly to Porto Santo. 5/6 days at sea but some good downwind
sailing is promised. We have been in La Coruna for over two weeks now. Much
longer than anticipated but we had to have a new alternator and then waiting
for spare parts for the autopilot.
It’s also nice to see more ARC yachts. Everyone is making their
way south and La Coruna has been the meeting point for many of us. In our two
weeks here we have met 9 new yachts who are doing the ARC or ARC plus this year.
Many new friends and we are all very excited.
I’d like to also thank Lorena who works in the office in
Marina Coruna. She has been a star and deserves special recognition and thanks
for making our stay so enjoyable even under the enforced circumstances.
Happy sailing.
The Silver Slipper crew.
