Oggi dobbiamo percorrere 33 Miglia. Ormai ci sembrano una passeggiata, ma occupano pur sempre un pomeriggio. Partiamo più tardi di quanto avremmo voluto a causa di un ritardo burocratico. Salutiamo con una bella stretta di mano Carlos, il supervisore dell’intelligence con il quale abbiamo finito per stringere amicizia. Poi via! L’umore è alto (due tonnetti per cena!), il meteo un po’ meno.. piove. PIOVE molto. Ma va bene così. Oggi ci rendiamo conto di una cosa: quanto sia sporca Julia sotto e di quanto ci sia bisogno di un buon cantiere per fare carena. Ci sembra che sia zoppa...rispetto a quando l’opera viva della barca (quella che sta in acqua) è bella pulita l’avanzamento è iper rallentato. Qui abbiamo intravisto un cantiere. Domani faremo un salto in zona per indagare 👀 La giornata scivola serena, tra maschere per il viso, scrosci d’acqua pesca e lettura, fino all’arrivo alla marina di Zarpar in cui, per ora, sembra di vivere in un film. Domani vi racconteremo tutto ✨ AC
