Arrival in La Gomera

We arrived in the Canaries Last night and saw our boat for the first time in over a month. She has survived the shipping and today we managed to get most of our kit checked so that we are ready to depart. Surprisingly seem quite a bit more organised than most of the other teams!

Tomorrow we are going to paint the underside of the boat with anti-foul paint to stop algae growing on the boat while we row.
