Remedios Ocean Voyage

Join us as we sail from Duluth through the Great Lakes, the Erie Canal to the Hudson, the Hudson to New York, across the Atlantic to France, south to Spain and Portugal, and back across the ocean to Miami. Remedios has all the latest electronics, a self-steering windvane, solar panels, and enough safety equipment that we suspect Pat secretly wants something bad to happen so we can use it.

Off to the Canary Islands

On Thursday Oct 27 we will depart Porto Santo in the Madeira Islands (Portugal) bound for the island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands (Spain). We will most likely tie up in Santa Cruz, the capitol city. We should be at sea for two to three nights and expect modest winds and moderate seas. From Tenerife we will depart for the USA sometime in mid November.

Compared to the weather in the Midwest US, this leg will be a piece of cake!

Yesterday we visited the island of Madeira and among other things we stocked up on some bottles of well aged Madeira wine. When we got back to the boat Pat found that they fit very nicely in a Rubbermaid carton in HIS berth. Gee, it's not like Rob is here and we have to lock up the wine...

This is what we see behind us as we head south -

Why didn't you just point the camera backwards?

The world's largest telescope. A must-see on the Canary Islands.

Gran Telescopio CANARIAS (GTC), is a 10.4m telescope with a segmented primary mirror. It is located in one of the top astronomical sites in the Northern Hemisphere: the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos (ORM, La Palma, Canary Islands).
