Converting an Ex-Charter Boat into a Bluewater Cruiser ~ Vlog #20
After a refreshing couple of weeks with Jackson's parents in the Balearic Islands, and a few days land-based at Xanthe's parents' house in Cabo de Palos (Spain), we were back into boat life full throttle.
Two months to go until we cross the Atlantic with the ARC Rally means preparations are ramped up. We spend a week in Almerimar in the South of Spain taking advantage of the fantastic chandleries and yacht services to convert Finding Avalon into the Bluewater cruiser she's always dreamed of being.
We did the following:
~ Garnered all the necessary safety gear
~ Replaced the standing rigging
~ Installed a second set of navigation lights
~ Set up the sat phone system
~ Provisioned all the dry goods for the Atlantic crossing
~ Installed a saltwater pump
...Almerimar seemed nice from afar!
Oh yes, and apologies for the fart noises in some of the voiceovers. I was pressed for time and had to record them in a marina with extremely squeaky ropes - I swear!
