On our way to Gibraltar

Happy day for someone

The narrow side alley of the Outremer factory is blocked and cleared of cars. Ready for a big boat launch. A truck will pull the boat out. I’ll be back after breakfast to see more.

Update:

Here is a short video about the launch. It was not easy to film. Several shots were against low light. Later I steered our dinghy and filmed at the same time. Apparently I am not so good at multitasking 🙁

Our starboard solar panel bank failed some days ago. We assumed it’s a short circuit in the system.

Today we discovered a smoldering burn on deck because of a smell of burning plastic in the cockpit.
