Backyard sailing - T - 45 days

Queridos familia/amigos/seguidores,

Si os preguntais que ha pasado con los Bamboleiros, tripulacion y barco... aqui teneis un poco de info. Bueno, Bamboleiro sigue en El Salvador, por suerte ningun huracan ha pasado por alli, asi que deberia de estar en perfecto estado, esperando nuestro retorno.

En cuanto a la tripulacion, Carl y yo, estamos bien en Seattle. Nuestra pequenya empresa de pintrua va viento en popa (nunca mejor dicho!!!) y los dias pasan volando! Durante este tiempo en tierra firme estamos planeando/comprado cosas que vamos a necesitar para nuestra temporada II con Bamboleiro rumbo al caribe a traves del Canal de Panama. Por lo demas, no hace falta decir que tenemos unas ganas enormes de volver a nuestro barquito. En Octubre 12 volaremos desde Seattle a Mexico y esa misma tarde cogeremos otro avion a Guatemala. Si todo va bien el dia 13 deberiamos estar en Bahia del Sol, El Salvador.

Echamos tanto de menos navegar, que un dia contruimos estos 2 barquitos de vela que dan vueltas sin cesar en el jardin de la madre del Carl. Nos hace gracia mirarlos mientras descansamos en el jardin. Aqui teneis el video:

Our summer working in Seattle is flying by and, while we're focusing on saving for Season II - Bamboleiro goes to the Carribean, we miss sailing an aweful lot.  This is the video of the backyard boats we made so when the wind blows in the afternoons here, we get little taste of sailing. The blue boat is Cristina's and mine is green.
As you can see we're still pretty excited about sailing. We've been planning and stocking up on supplies, maps and equipment to bring back down to El Salvador with us. On October 12th we'll fly from Seattle to Mexico City, then we'll transfer onto a smaller plane and jump to Guatemala City where we'll taxi to the bus station, spend the night in their hotel and depart at 0530 on the 13th. That evening we'll be back to Bahia Del Sol where we'll hitch a ride out to Bamboleiro. We'll get her back into sailing shape and head out.  Our plan is to build and install a dodger/bimini then head SE, first to Costa Rica, then Panama where we'll try to cross through the canal. Just thinking about it gives me shivers of anticipation.  Stay tuned come October for the beginning of Season II.
