Voyages of sailing boat La Bamba
Friday 5 July
Today we stayed on the dock and La Bamba’s cabin demonstrated her cosiness and dryness!
Electricians and carpenters came and went, Simon showed us how everything works and, in an unusual dry moment, how to hoist the gennaker. We also managed to get her name on the stern. No sailing today as the rain has set in with unrelenting greyness.
Thursday 4 July
As many headed for the polls in the UK, we met on a blustery day to be introduced to the beautiful, brand new, blue La Bamba. She lay proudly on the dock at Uddevalla yard where tens of skilled craftsmen have painstakingly sculpted her for our pleasure. It was love at first sight!
Welcome to our journey aboard La Bamba, our new Arcona 435, from Uddevalla, Sweden all the way back home to the South Coast of England.
Here you can vicariously join us as we sail down the Baltic, through the Kiel Canal, into the Channel and back home, hopefully enjoying our thrills and no spills. Please refresh the page for updates! I may not post everyday and you may get a few entries at once! Please add comments if you want and we will answer any questions you pose if we know the answer!
