Ho Ho Ho, guys!

First... Happy holidays! This video was recorded between November 27th and December 4th. 

Ava has a special connection to cork trees. Cork trees are native to Portugal. Seeing some "in the wild" have been on Ava's list for as long as I've known her. In this video, we rent a car and drive to a cork tree farm. After that, we sail from Cascais to Lagos - the most southwesterly marina in Portugal. 

Back in real-time, we have made it to the Canary Islands. We had a short two-day stop on Lanzarote before continuing to Tenerife. Here we met up with my parents and spent two days with them. They flew back to Denmark this morning, so we're on our own again. 

The plan is for us to stay here until the middle of January before crossing the Atlantic. Athena is 99% ready. I want to make a lee cloth for the aft cabin, we need a pair for snatch blocks, and the stainless needs polishing, etc... but we are ready!

Happy Holidays and Thank you so much for your support! :)

Ava you are cool. Thank you for sharing your perspective. You are an awesome story teller and your story is inspiring. You and Mads make a great pair. Thank you for being genuine.

What city was the trailer park in? Assuming you can tell us... I'm in Commerce, and just wondered how close we were to each other... lol

I'm pretty sure Ava won't mind me answering :) It was in Clinton Township. I was lucky enough to be there for Christmas one year before her parents moved. It was really cool to see where Ava grew up. Seen with Danish eyes, I 100% don't understand why there is a stigma associated with living in a mobile home.
