Horta to Amsterdam – One day away from Departure

At Madison airport a couple hours early for the flight back to Horta. Why you might ask. In my carry on I have one alternator, a glue gun, a Poly planar speaker, a mast head circuit board, four tubes of stainless steel carbon adhesive, ten feet of mast tape – an al Queda checkers dream.

Three days of overcast and rain mixed with sprinkles means everything is wet – clothes, underwear, you – boat, deck and cockpit are covered with dew and we are thousand miles from Bermuda, a thousand miles from Horta.
