Amsterdam Crew Exchange

A wild weekend in Amsterdam for old and new crew with the days spent rigging the Grateful Red for the next leg, Oslo, Norway and the summer party. With a great assist from Harken in Amsterdam the boat was ready to sail on Monday with a new forestay and roller furler.

Wednesday Update – English Channel at last!

All forces have met – the wet, warm, windy low front just passed us (winds blowing counter clock-wise) followed by a high with lighter cooler, sunny weather (blowing clockwise) – the winds meshed nicely for a clear 65 degree, Sunny day with winds of 20 to 25.
