Still in Alameda, preparing. Eric the Repairman went over the engine one whole day in the beginning of the week (Monday or Tuesday - not sure how the blog counts the days). More services booked - everything that CAN be serviced WILL be serviced before they set off. And for contact with service people in California you need a US phone number, so A the K got a pre-paid sim card for the purpose.* Hard work from 7 in the morning to 10 in the evening - ALL equipment must be tested, including the hammock, fortunately. The weather looks lovely over there.
* On Thursday, shopping for charts, fixing the antenna for the Iridium system. When blog posts come with funny line breaks, they are posted by satellite phone.
* Some people at home are getting restless after seven days - but two weeks of preparation were always in the plan. On Monday the cruiser will be hauled out of the water, for a paint job. Smooth gliding, Anastasia!
* Saturday: shopping for fishing equipment. Huge Cedar Plugs for tuna!! Also a test trip, flying the Swedish flag. Looks good!!!
