Sal Darago was launched down the railway slip at Balboa Yacht Club on Saturday evening. This morning, Sunday, we are still afloat! The gearbox is working, but the prop shaft is getting hot at the stuffing box and there are vibrations above 2500 revs. We are hoping to do some sea trials this afternoon. If all goes well, tomorrow should see us buying fresh food for ten days. On Tuesday we hope to set out on the 960 miles to the Galapagos.
Fingers crossed.

When do you hope to get to the Galapagos? When do you hope to leave?
Hope all goes well and you're having a good trip. Loving the photos - the slipway's more rustic than I imagined! Love Exx
We hear you have arrived safely in the Galapagos - great news!
Love Hal, Ruth, Ewan and Tom
