Arpex is back.

 

Sideways

 Interesting how perspective works, and lens distortion.

Arpex arriving back at the Sugar Loaf

Bringing Arpex back from the dry dock in Ramos involved motoring around 9 miles against a stiff breeze and a nasty, short chop. I had a borrowed 5hp engine, which pushed me along at 3 knots, without stressing it too much. In flat water it can push Arpex at 6 knots.

It was a lovely sight to see the "Crioula", a Soto 40, training for the Circuito Rio.
