Faraway left Chichester Marina on October 19 to start her voyage across the Atlantic to the Caribbean with a professional delivery crew of 4 sailors. Only hitch at this stage has been dirty fuel. The crew had to stop in Cameret, France to empty 1000 litres of the dirty fuel and refuel her with clean mix. Bit expensive but had to be done.
The crew have arrived in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria after a fairly trouble free passage. Only issues of significance are a bit of wear on the staysail and also to the luff of the genoa. They are having them fixed prior to setting off for St. Maarten in the next couple of days. They should arrive in St. Maarten in approximately 26 days all being well.
We plan to meet Faraway on December 14 when we land in St. Maarten.
The guys are doing a great job and we wish them an easy passage!
