Oncoming Crew:

Pablo Morales-
Having just completed a week of training at the performance sailing center in Santander, he has been preparing to board the Badum and join his crew and family onboard. This is the third summer that Pablo attends the sailing center in Santander where his dinghy-sailing skills improve each year, some of which applicable for the offshore sailing of the Badum. He has completed courses on the l'equipe, hobby-16, and just recentenly on the laser. Along with these courses, he has also completed numerous others in Alcoceber, here he has learned to sail on the hobby-12 and the vaurien.
He is also acredited with preparing the Badum for the Atlantic crossing, in doing so he familirized himself with the boat and is well aware how everything works and where everything is.
This combination of a knowledgable backround on how the sails works corresponding to each wind along with his active participation in preparing both the boat and the crew for the atlantic crossing make him an adequate substitute for his sister Marta who unfourtunately has to leave for London.
