Just before departure to Cape Verde and St. Lucía

It is now nearly 2200 UTC in Las Palmas and the marina is getting quiet much earlier than the last few weeks. The parties are over and the reason why we are here is only 26 hours away. The boat has been pampered and prepared – food, drinks and vegetables are stowed away. The crew of Erik, Alex, Michaela, Marie and me have arrived and trained man over board. So now their is no excuse. We will leave tomorrow at 1300 UTC in 18-23 NE breeze and head towards Cape Verde, 850 nm south. We will update you everyday on this site and hopefully arrive next Friday.
Smiling greeting from the crew of North Star.
Sent on the road, so please excuse the grammar
