Re: spot the boatman!
According to predictwind he possibly has 10-15knts and running DDW. I HATE spot because it doesn't show his speed, but clearly he has slowed dramatically.

I hate to say it but maybe his steering has gone yet again?

Re: spot the boatman!
He is making way and holding course. It looks like he needs to move farther south the next couple of days to keep his sails full.

Looking for another pretty place to work on the boat.

Re: spot the boatman!
He seems to be pointing toward Caelbra. I hope he's only using it as a mark. There's nothing there. Or I hope not another reason...

Or mebbe he's headed to Campo or Rafita?

Re: spot the boatman!
If one of you peterheadz has his cell phone, you might want to give him a shout at some point when you think his hands are free. He seems to be in range, coming close to Cabrera and headed to Rapita.

I recall Phil telling me he was going via Mallorca or Menorca.
The winds made it a difficult journey.

Oh well. We will find out soon enough........

Dont quote me......... I do recall him saying something about the Islands... its been a hectic week.

Ive been in Holland for 2 days looking at lots of boats and sampling the beer. I dont partake of the legal herbal substances over there or the nights........... but I do like the beer.
