Tuesday, July 17th, 2012

I shall be leaving early in the morning and aim to arrive by Thursday evening in Tunisia. Yes, back to plan “A”, after another opinion from the “Una Volta” crew. But it will depend on the wind direction. Today it calmed down and by tomorrow the seas should also be friendlier. It is 165 miles and with a little luck I should be in Tunisia by Thursday evening. I did not go anywhere except to get a few more provisions. I did some maintenance, clean up, e-mails. I stopped by “God Speed” a 52 foot Westsail, Cindy and Bob from Twin Cities, Minn. hey are only the second USA boat I have met this year. And I went aboard “Eclipse” to have a cold beer with Wayne and Cha-Cha. The 10 day heatwave has moderated and a nice cool breeze is blowing. I fried a chicken leg for dinner with noodles and fresh stir fry vegetables.
