Timoneer has left San Francisco after 3 very busy weeks. We finally got our new life rafts about 5.30pm yesterday and left very soon after to pass under the Golden Gate bridge just after sunset. It was a spectacular beginning to our journey. We have been motoring fast through the night to get south before a big storm fills in up north. We have now slowed down a bit to conserve fuel for the 3000 mile voyage to the Galapagos Islands. All going well it should take us 12 days.
