Today started well. We installed the repaired boom and fixed the rigging. Then we went out to try and see whether something else will break...everything went well despite strong winds and a moderately agitated sea. We came close to one of these big floating hotels. Another world. Bit this evening we found a new problem : a gas leakage and we will have to fix this tomorrow after the last shopping and the custom clearance. Then if all work well we leave on Tuesday morning, Inchallah.
Thank you all for your comments and support !
