| Our beautiful crew, Rebecca, Em and Georgia, exploring the old town of Tangier, charming all the shopkeepers. They grew up together, sailing dinghies on Stony Lake. Now they are on Milly having travelled from Victoria, B.C., Toronto and India, we are so happy to have them aboard. |
Jumping to Tangier, this post takes you out of chronological order. But the TransAtlantic deserves prompt coverage, especially as Emily and two of her childhood cottage sailor friends are joining us for the first leg - Tangier to Canary Islands - about 580 NM. It is so fun for Peter and I to watch their excitement. It reignites ours!

| Some serious rug shopping. Difficult choices but each found a rug to take home. Georgia was especially good at bartering. |
 |
| A plethora of olives, |
 |
| spices, herbs, and lots of mysterious unknowns. |
 |
| The guy selling scarves retied Georgia's, just so. |
Although Milly spent ten days on the hard getting her bottom painted, her topsides polished, cutlass bearing unexpectedly replaced in Gibraltar, she still needed some work. Rigging checked, 12 volt water maker reinstalled, fresh produce purchased, safety lecture completed etc. etc., we are ready to sail tomorrow a.m., November 13. The forecast predicts a downwind sail in 20-30 knots with 3-4 meter waves. It will be rollicking! And the girls are looking forward to it...a little nervously.

| It is exciting to be back in colourful North Africa, a great pitstop. |
