No delay heading to the Atlantic. Boats going to the Pacific are waiting six to eight weeks.<\/p>\n<p><em>Wind Horse<\/em> is on a dock at Flamenco Marina, a new, clean, if somewhat surgy facility which was just going in the last time we were here. Our tanks are filled to the brim (at US$3.72 per gallon), and now, after running 700 hours since midway through Alaska, fuel burn has averaged 6.4 gallons per hour at an average speed of just over 10.5 knots.<\/p>\n<p>The trip down from California was 12 days and a few hours for 3000 miles. The most pleasant long passage out of many we have done over the years.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll spend half a day tomorrow checking things in the engine room, and then give the boat a good clean, after which we are going to relax for a few days, and concentrate on coming to grips with the &quot;Final Cut Pro&quot; video software on the Imac computer.<\/p>\n<p>We should mention that we are connected to the marina WiFi using our high gain antenna. The built-in unit in the PC did not do the job. This works well enough that we have been able to use our Skype phone from the boat.
