We have for several years dreamt of sailing from Norway to the Caribbean. We are now on our way in our little ship "Bonanza", and we'll keep you updated on this page.

Camariñas - San Fransisco -Muros



We left Camariñas just after our next post and had one of our so far best days of sailing down to the bay outside San Fransisco. Finally it was time to test our diving-equipment. Unfortunately someone was stupid enought to check the temperature on the water. The thermometer showed 16.7 C, Jon claimed it was 17 and David claimed it was 16. Jon took a bath, and David found an excuse to avoid taking a bath. Arild lay down and took a sunbath.

The day after David took the dinghy to Muros to buy fuel. The dinghy stopped and he had to row most of the way to Muros (2 nm). When he got there all petrol-stations were closed and the crew back on the boat got a phonecall claiming that it was much nicer in Muros than in the bay outside San Fransisco. It was.

We´re now waiting for our new crewmate Trond to come aboard. Before we set sails for Portugal.
