Ditto, Maegil, great tale. :-)

You'd be a great person to have a beer with and talk with until the wee hours. I also have a daughter that you might like to meet. ;-)

I'm sailing off solo to Brazil in a little while and should be out of touch for about a fortnight.

In the meanwhile, I've managed to get the Tabaski pics but can't upload them now, so it'll have to wait until I arrive.

Cheers, and a Happy New Year to all!

Bon voyage, Maegil!

Say hi to Queequeg, Daggoo, and Fedallah and when you're full on oil just head to port. :lol:

Hi, everybody, thanks for the good wishes, but... I'm back!

On the departure day, I felt "something", but didn't know what it was. As it got worse, I soon found myself feverish from an ear infection, so I spent the last two days beating upwind back to Dakar, on antibiotics...

It's nothing serious, and if I had been further out returning would have been impracticable, which would have meant that I would have to continue regardless of health conditions... in a life-threatening situation, I'd have to resort to calling a passing ship for an emergency medical evacuation or even activate the EPIRB, forfeiting the boat to salvage.

Perhaps you should invest in an escape capsule :P

On a serious note, glad you're OK. Take care.

Life rafts are mandatory items, as are life jackets, flares, first aid and pharmacy kits, etc., but all these are for declared emergencies; safety precautions are still the best choice regardless of whatever contingencies you may have prepared for.

Very wise choice. I am glad you decided to be sensible. Hope your back to the sea soon enough.
