Quick Update - our last day in Santa Cruz
Sorry for the lack of updates - not too much to say other than "yup, still in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, prepping for the crossing." (Though we have made a couple of cool day trips - details in a post-dated post from this weekend.)
We're in the midst of the last-day-in-port runaround at the moment, on schedule to depart for the crossing on Wednesday. Everyone's getting pretty excited, and we're up to our full crossing crew of seven.
The weather is looking good - while we've still got 'Net access, we're using Passage Weather (http://www.passageweather.com) for forecasts and graphical weather maps. Once underway, we'll be downloading the weather in nice compact GRIB-formatted files from Grib.us (http://grib.us).
Look for an update tomorrow, underway, at least; and photos and stuff tonight if we can.
