I attended a sea rescue demonstration today. Something I hope we will never need.

Since I was the only one who went to the rescue demonstration I had to rely on a “selfie” to take my picture.

Dave was doing the final engine checks. Conditions look good for the crossing, so we shouldn’t really have to rely on the engines much.

The provisioning started to arrive and it continued for the next two days.

We got are fruit and vegetable hammocks slung.

Sea Rose and neighbors are ready to go. Sea Rose is fourth from the left.

As you can see from Sea Rose’s flags, the wind conditions are going to be perfect for the start of the race.

Time to say goodbye to Las Palmas. It’s been our home for the last 3 weeks. They were great friendly hosts.

The crews last land based dinner for the next 16 – 19 days.

It is a race (sort of) so you can follow the fleet on the following link. We are boat Sea Rose and we are in the multi-hull division. Start time is 12:30 PM, Sunday, November 22nd. We’re off!!

Bob,
I don’t know if you left land already. Your trip and the new pictures are awesome!!! Everyone looks so happy. I hope you all have a safe trip across the Atlantic Ocean. Sixteen days is a long time at sea. I checked your house and everything looks fine.
