After two false starts (never ever use a Max Prop or similar foldable propeller for very long sailing) we finally left Willemstad for a three days sailing up to Boca Chica, Dominican Republic and we moored in a lovely marina just before some more squalls hit the area.<\/p>\n

Willemstad, Cura\u00e7ao<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We had good winds for the first part of the trip and then we had to use the engine for almost half of the time. That was another good test that the old Perkins 4.236 passed with some questions. Is the injection in order? Why is overheating some times and some others not? A good mechanic here in Dominican Republic could be a precious help for these doubts.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re still in doubt about our future steps. Everything depends on the boat overall conditions and of course on the meteo.\u00a0 It is possible that we need three more days in Dominicam Republic to get everything we need for the next leg, the strongest one. From here if the weather will let us we would like to go up to Bermudas and then Azores.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll try to keep a record of the next steps, in the meanwhile I start publishing some pictures of the trip.<\/p>\n
