Leaving our dock in some minutes.
Had a very busy time since August in the yard of Portimao Portugal with many unexpected larger repairs (again)
Our eta for English Harbor, Antigua is between 14 and 19th of December.
More later = in December.

Update on Tank Cleaning – Diesel BugUpdate on Tank Cleaning – Diesel Bug
300L diesel in our starboard tank were contaminated with dirt and water. After two years of refueling while adding anti Diesel bug additives, we had the choice to fuel polish (which is a filtering and water separation process) or pump out all fuel, clean the tank and replace it with fresh diesel.
‘Slick Hull’ pumped the tank out (company in Portimao) and cleaned it. We had 3 hour express service.
Afterwards we filled with initial 60L of fresh diesel and completed the rest at the boat gas station. Interesting the tank gauge showed still empty even when you could see 60L of Diesel swapping around of the tank bottom 🙂

Holpe it’s not the same fuel. (Just joking) 
Clean, fresh fuel.

Good luck with the journey.

Moin Ihr Beiden,
haben uns schon länger gefragt wie Eure Pläne wohl so aussehen!
Scheint ja aus Europa rauszugehen…
Allerdings seid ihr ja gestern Abend wieder zurück?
Technische Probleme oder auch Rücksicht auf einiges an Wind und Wellen im Anmarsch?
Wie auch immer, passt auf Euch auf und Good Luck,
Angelika und Thomas (La Primera)

ETA? In sailing it appears to be more of an “EDA”. Good sailing, and good to hear from you!
