Sailing again...
Talaria is pleased to feel the wind in her sails again! It is so odd to see your boat sailing and you are not the ones sailing her. Captain Andrea departed Cartagena, Spain on Friday - August 7th. His original plan was to depart on Thursday but there was a delay getting the food they had ordered and they were worn out after all the prep work for such a long trip. In the end, they needed one day to just rest up before departing. On Friday, the tracker wasn't picking up but we got that straightened out and it is now working fine. By Saturday, they had made it to Formentera in the Balearic Islands. After a stop for lunch and a weather check they set sail for Sardinia. We don't expect them to make landfall until Monday afternoon. They will then head to a marina and rest up a bit before starting off again. We are in no rush as we cannot fly to Turkey until January. Really, really hoping there is a vaccine by then.
A friend of a friend sent this video of Kas, Turkey. Kas will be Talaria's home for awhile. We plan to fly out the 2nd of January and spend the winter there. Hopefully, by spring we will be able to sail to Greece. That is the plan anyway. Fingers crossed!
