Ready to cross the pacific

Alita is painted and maintained, the new crew members are aboard, food stored, Marcus and I are tired from all the work. No time for anything else, not even for blogging. Will write more when we're out there.
We'll leave tonight or tomorrow morning.
I uploaded some pix from Puerto Montt and here on: http://sailing.smichah.de/#50.0

Here just a few of them:

 Kelp - they sell it for food, we hated dealing with it on the boat....
