Captain Scott’s Log ~ August 27, 2007

4th circumnav resumed.
We arrived with Ken Hegy and Jeff Fredrich. Jeff is the new mate and engineer and the first professional to be aboard in the past 2 years.

The 5 of us spent Saturday provisioning. Every locker is crammed as we are leaving the Western world. Sunday we left Ayos Nickalos and sailed 50 nm to Zakaros a small cove on the eastern coast of Crete. It was a wonderful sail but the wind increased to 35 kts.

We are snug anchored just off the beach as the wind howls down from the surrounding high mountains. Today, Monday 27 Aug, we will depart for the Suez Canal and begin the leg that will end in Thailand 6000nm away==via Egypt, Jordan, Sudan, Yemen, Maldives and Shira Lanka
