Unhappy boys

What can we say? Have we been too naive, believing in the French "no
problem, monsieur" statement.
We have observed the work on the boat crawling along for a week now,
understanding the total unrealistic statements of our contractor.
Prioritizing is not his strong point.
We finally put together a contract (translated to French by Google
translate) based on what we thought would be realistic. This will give
him a severe pr.day penalty after 5 June.
He muttered, but signed and stamped it.
So fingers crossed for adventure sailing after this date.

Predicted WX 18 May

We were hoping the weather would at least start out good, and looking
at the predicted forecast a week in advance seems promising.
However, things can change.
The big High over Russia and in the Atlantic will create Low's in between.
Looking forward from 22 May, that seems to be the case.
Fortunately, we will be in Portugal by then.
