As already hinted in the last post, back in June, we were not able to continue our annual tour of the azores, and our friends had to eventually continue on their own.
After spending several weeks in Ponta Delgada, the Taniwani crew had to leave and head home for some more serious medical treatments. Taniwani remained in the marina in Ponta Delgada, guarded by Thomas Dargel of Boat & Sail Service.
The changed plan for both, Beate and Harald to return to Taniwani in early September and sail back to Madeira also didn't work out quite as planned, so that in the end Harald and son Markus sailed, well mostly dieseled, Taniwani home to Madeira.
Just one day after arrival, Taniwani was lifted out and again berthed on the dry under the runway.
We are hopeful, that we will be able to report new sailing adventures in the next season, with a complete and healthy crew.
This is the Cruising Blog of Sailing Yacht TANIWANI. Taniwani is a Najad 490 build in 2000. From 2004 to 2008 Beate and Harald sailed her around the world, partially in company with family and friends. Currently the couple sails Taniwani about four months a year, but bigger plans are still around. All previous trips are documented on the website www.taniwani.eu In the future we plan to keep our friends informed of our journey via this blog.
