Well that's my three best Portugese words. 
Weather willing..looks light......heading off tomorrow from Rubicon, Lanzarote. Consultant role. A friend is taking his yacht trnsatlantic later in the year and wants to get some miles and night hours in the logbook for his partner. Four of us total for this trip so easy watchkeeping. Hanse 46 or something close.
They have sailed a good bit locally and last Sunday took the other crew out for familiarisation sail, bit of reefing, etc. The fully battened main is flipping heavy and needs care with the electric halyard winch.
Post sail, we had a jolly passage planning session in a Marina bar. WiFi plus tablet works wonders.
Spent more time on paperwork though one can pre trip upload vax certs etc to Madierasafe. Confirmed all done this morning. Will have to do flow tests before leaving here but the trip may take a bit over 48 hours. Tad under 300 miles. But will worry about that when we ger there.
Not expecting much breeze, but we got diesel! Should blow the cobwebs out tho.
