After hearing a lot of squeaking, I found a clandestine passenger on board Jasrah.
After an long interrogation involving cheese and wine, I managed to find my passenger’s name and found out that he’s heading towards Africa for a life of adventure.
I’d like to present to you Oscar.
Saturday and Sunday(5,6th Jun) ended being really sunny and there were many boats under sail.
Wish I was doing the same but at least I’ve made good way under engine, anchored in a couple of nice locations and most of all, managed to pass a huge shooting range that only stops on Sunday.
A few dolphins have come to say hello. :-)
After many days work, I’m pretty much done with all the jobs I wanted to do on Jasrah to prepare for her voyage to Tunisia.
There are still a few things to be done(my jobs list is endless!) but I also need to occupy my long evenings as I travel.
I’d like to thank Peter Matthiesen, the builder of the Aries steering gear for keeping my boat in his backyard during the winter and for lending me his fantastic workshop for preparing this voyage.
Who would have thought that learning to use a lathe would come in handy twenty years later?
Jasrah will be going back in the water next week.
After the last bits of preparation, it will be a 200 nautical Miles towards Lubeck where I will be entering the inland waterways.
Follow the Jasrah’s voyage in 2009 on a Google map with pictures and videos. Started in the UK and finished in Denmark.
