Oct 19, 2020-Arrival in Mauritius
Just to let you know we made a safe landfall in Mauritius on Tuesday, Oct. 19, at 17:00 and are tucked into a marina in the main harbor of Port Louis. We are fine and the boat is fine.
We sailed 2772 miles in 18.5 days, an average of about 150 miles/day.
We'll send more information and put some photos on the blog soon. Right now we are trying to get established here and start fixing the few things which are broken.
Our crew member, Pierre, has to fly back to Singapore in order to look for a job. He didn't quite realize how long this whole crossing to Africa would take. So now we have no crew member to sail with us to Africa and we probably won't go this year. Mauritius looks nice anyhow.
