Sails

We have an arrangement with the sailmaker who thankfully speaks English, he will review our sails in the days to come. They need strengthening in certain places. After 12,000 NM in six months, the wear is evident. Before embarking on the last stage which is about 6000 NM, they need to be reviewed. Kevlar, which is the golden material in the sail, is sensitive to UV radiation. The sailmaker promised the end of the week and we hope he keeps his promise.
Today we were in a shop to make copies of the key that serves both to open the door and to start the engine. One key accidentally went off with the boys to Sweden, so we needed a new pair. When we were in the shop, we saw that they had kerosene, too, which has been difficult to obtain so we acted and bought five liters, my Spanish did a volt in the head so after a while he happily came back with 15 liters in cans. We said thank you and paid. Five and fifteen, so easy to miss.
