Hello everyone!
First, excuse me for not giving you news earlier ... my apologies are necessarily bad, so I will not give you too ... But it turns out that for us sailors returning to civilization is accompanied by a massive degree, with quantities of material to find, repair, and reunions with friends, etc.. And in all this, mind you I have not found the time to connect to the Internet!
Finally, we have come to Ushuaia on Friday night after a wonderful journey, and our team members are leaving us one after the other, with no doubt about a head full of memories.
must say that I had not told you all our adventures on the blog as and when the crossing, what not to worry about, basically. But also serious gales we had an engine failure that made us afraid enough ... Indeed, while we were surfing the gigantic waves of the deep south, our engine started by itself (which is not already common !!!), then the starter was put in circuit court and heated, which was fatal. Fortunately, we had a replacement starter on board, so we repaired as soon as we returned in Magellan. The former starter is currently under revision, and our worries behind us now ...
The time is therefore the menus work as a boat, there is always something to do ... Our new crew members arrive Sunday, and by then everything will be ready and we're ready to go round the Horn, if the weather permits us this time!
Because for the record, our choice to go through the channels after crossing the Pacific instead of passing Cape Horn, as expected, and although it was a good idea, since Cape Horn, the day when we stayed at anchor in the channels, there was 140kN wind, a boat cast, another to the coast, and two deaths!
short, neatly tied, Paradise and his crew requinquent nicely in Ushuaia, and we begin to prepare for Christmas, that failing to spend with family going on here with the neighbors dock!
I am updating the photos soon, and say to you very soon!
Juliet for the crew of Paradise
