Odyssey 7/9 - Mindelo & lumbago

Fate, I guess. I had just spent two days twisted in every way to identify few electrical cables, and I gave hands to the kids of the neighboring boat so they could easily regain their board. I should not have. I summarize the situation:

• I have all the time to monitor the computer delivery date on the UPS site; that's how I learned that it is stuck in Dakar and that no new date is available for now
• It is possible that I can not retrieve my physical abilities - although quite average - before 2 or 3 weeks
• We will miss not only the rally arrival party, but perhaps the flight supposed to bring us back from Fort-de-France in early Jan.
