<p>My plan now is to finish to prepare GRAND PHA to sail safely offshore in the nice place of Port Launay on the river Aulne. I think to be ready to sail to UK in one week.</p>

<p>Hello</p>
<p></p>
<p>Thank you Hans, we have to make some adjustments with our rig after to have tested it with only one sail in sailing in the Iroise sea .</p>
<p></p>
<p>Luis, Pete and Carly with their new Oryx helped us one day when we re assembled the boat. We hope to meet them in South Portugal later. Present time I finish to install the electronic gear at anchorage in the Rade de Brest. Last night a storm passed through our area and happily the anchor is strong.</p>
