Trans Atlantic part 1

End of Sep 2018, I got a call from Danny, I knew he has had already a plan to cross Atlantic with a south Africa doctor, form canary island to Caribbean.Danny took the change because it's a cat. the doctor will sail with his partner, but he prefer not to have the night watch, since he just had some heart problem in May.
The sail will keep about 20 days, it would not be easy to have night watch for 20 days.
I was driving when Danny call me to see if I can go with him? it took me only 10 seconds to knock my head. what a good chance!!

Thanks to my boss, he let me take a leave of 30 days, now it's time to book the flight to Tenerife island. I did not know where is this island. 
Well, they are islands near Africa, most of cross Atlantic boat start from here. And this area is very famous for blue marlin(tune) fishing.

The flight to this island will take me about 3 transfers: 
Taipei to Dubai, Dubai to Amsterdam(both sections are with A380), than take a smaller one to Barcelona, then finally take a domestic flight to this tenerife north airport. it would took me about 31hrs. 
Of course there are some other flights, the cheapest ones are to transfer in London, but you need to change airport in London. with baggage for 30 days, I have no intention to do this in London, nor in Paris.

Some other does not leave enough time to transfer. for example, it give you 1 hour to transfer from international terminal to local terminal. I don't really think this can done with checked baggage.

So, there is no easy way to start a great sail....
