Inclination test postponed

Jon has decided to postpone the inclination test (keel is lifted so the boat lies horizontal in water to test if the boat would come back upright) until he gets to France. This is good news since it one less thing to do before we leave.

From alison, isn't it a bit risky doing the inclination test later? Isn't this a safety test to ensure the boat won't sink?
thanks for the mention. Yes it's a complete bummer. xxxxxxxxx

Did you take a video? Some film of you and Jon getting really tetchy nad frustrated is essential.

Heading for Madeira

Position: 14,18.1N , 21,4.41W Speed: 7 knots, Course: 310 deg. UTC Time: 03. August 2006 08:47 Pointing high towards the Canaries just east of the Cape Verde Islands heading for Madeira. Still not north of them yet. Sea rough, cloudy, rain and wet. 2 reefs in Main and Genoa. Once past Cape Verdes may bare away to make easier sailing and tack back over later on a reach. Makes it longer but easier on us and the boat.
