This sporty sister-ship to AURELIA was built in 2007 and has been recently repainted at the Heesen Yachts shipyard.

tamattina, in rada a Presidiana (Cefalù) sveglia un po' prima dell'alba per mettersi in rotta verso Tindari. Con la piccola Horus abbiamo percorso poco meno di 60 miglia. Trasferimento tutto sommato tranquillo, ma per me anche un poco stancante. Lungo la rotta ho trovato due temporali che mi hanno costretto a ridurre le vele, per poi riaprirle. Insomma, abbassa la randa e chiudi il genoa (durante i groppi il vento girava e rinforzava anche fino a 40 nodi), alza la randa e apri il genoa. E così per un paio di volte. Poi, a Gioiosa marea, qui vicino, ikl vento mi ha mollato e le ultime 7 miglia le ho fatto con randa e motore. A mare ho spiegato tutta la mia potenza di fuoco per pescare (due canne e due affondatori). Risultato: fra poco mi preparo un bel piatto di pasta! Ieri sera ho preso una delle mie maledette pillole che se da un lato mi allungano la vita, dall'altra mi fanno stare male per un po'. E temo che, dopo aver parlato con i miei medici, che stasera dovrò ripetere l'operazione. Ma così è la vita e non ho titolo per lamentarmi.

For our Garcia Exploration 45 we decided to stick with the standard gas cooker, to maximise our autonomy in places where solar performance is suboptimal. When we do have plentiful electricity we’ll use induction and microwave cooking. Did I say we’re in a rolly anchorage? It is rolly, but it’s a well protected marina. A ripper English Channel winter storm started on cue in the middle of the night and hasn’t let up all day. Carolyn and I were up at 2.30am to check what was banging (the anchor in the bowsprit) and to stop our tender from becoming an aeroplane. Carolyn’s mooring line cleat hitches were all holding well - the day dawned and we were still in the same slip, which is the plan.
