The Fortaleza stop meant working on the boat
again, and it was our turn to go up the mast!
John went up first while I learned how to hoist
him up and down. He was brave enough to
take pictures from up there.
Then it was my turn. I must admit, this was a
real highlight for me. I had no idea if I could do
it, but I did. No crying, hurling or screaming!
The view from up there is amazing, they tell
me. Maybe next time I'll open my eyes!

Up, up
she goes!
Don't try
this
at home!
Rested and refreshed, we set out on Monday for Trinidad. John and I planned the last leg of our journey and
developed a launch plan for leaving. We used charts, software, and on board plotter to verify our route.
