I had to stay on board this morning. Juan was due to complete the A Frame and I was to interview a prospective crew member for the next leg of the trip.
Tomas from Extremadura arrived to have a chat and look over the boat. Shortly afterwards Juan arrived and very quickly adjusted the Superwind mount so that it was pretty much vertical. He has done a good job for a reasonable price. His design of A frame has the merit of being completely reversible so that if necessary it could be easily removed and the boat returned to standard specification. If stainless steel fabrication in this area is required Juan at Talleres Paes (Telephone +34 956 873 077) is worth a call. He speaks only Spanish.
Afterwards Tomas and I had lunch and a long chat. I think he would be a welcome addition to the crew and his presence should improve my Spanish. We part with the intention that he will come aboard early in September.
During the afternoon the wind increased steadily and at around 17:30 we had a very heavy rain shower lasting about half an hour. The first rain since we arrived.
