The Voyage of the Mighty Tenho: next stop Sardinia (Take II)

next stop Sardinia (Take II)

Everything was stowed, last goodbyes done, ready to cast of lines...flipped on Raymarine instrument switch (depth, wind, autopilot etc)...nothing. Tried again...nothing. Two days later, the corroded wire is fixed and we're ready to head out tomorrow again.

No complaints here though, I was glad to stay for more of the Punic War festival - great chance for Hugo to practice more Spanish interpreting for us, and I absolutely love free theater at night on the dock with all the flaming torches and music. And more water fights with the other boat kids!

The culprit: corroded data cable

Having spent 10 years in DC, we moved onto the boat in June 2012, with the intent of sailing across the Atlantic to the Mediterranean for a year. As of June 2013, we've sailed from the U.S. (Annapolis, Maryland) to Bermuda, then to the Azores, to Lisbon and down the Atlantic coast of Portugal and Spain, through the Straits of Gibraltar, along the southern coast of Spain (with a quick trip to Morocco) to Ibiza, then Sicily, through the Corinth Canal and Greek islands, winter in Turkey, a few weeks in Israel, with a side trip to Egypt. After a month in the Adriatic in spring, we all sailed to the Azores, where mom, cat and kids left by airplane, leaving John and crew to bring the boat back home to the Chesapeake.
