Arrival in Portsmouth!

After steady wind up to the English Channel, the crew of Tres Hombres was surprised to find almost no wind at all on their way into Portsmouth. This caused a delay of a few days, as they were ‘tacking’ every few hours to make as much progress as possible… On Monday we set out on a yaught to escort them into the harbor and a tugboat pushed them the last part because there really was no wind…

Exhausting last days for the crew before getting to the port and therefore an extra warm welcome upon arrival – friends and family waiting for them and many curious and interesting visitors.

A beautiful sun has ever since been with us here and because weather forecast to sail is still not in favour, for now the crew is enjoying the time in the harbor, be on land, do maintenance work and prepare for the last part of the trip, to Amsterdam, arrival June 6th. Happy crew -  keeps eating chocolate!
