Mia called this morning to let me know they are back at sea. This after three days of repairs in Las Palmas. It's the second time the boat had to turn around (the first being during the ARC, when a host of deck leaks forced them back).

The shroud was fixed within ten minutes of them getting back to the dock. Then they had someone look at the new Watt & Sea hydrocharger to make sure it was working right. And yesterday they actually had the boat hauled out for the afternoon to fix a leak in the cutlass bearing strut.

Anyway, it's all back together again and they're off! Stay tuned to www.59-north.com for daily updates (or whenever they call) and position reports.
