Bluetarn's Web Diary - Ready for the off1

Ready for the off1

Bluetarn

Sat 22 Nov 2008 18:12

We have all our stores packed away. Everything has been checked and double checked and we are as ready as we will ever be.

Tonight there is a firework display so an early night isn't practical.

Tomorrow we start at precisely 1pm along with 217 other yachts. The forecast is for F3-4 NE winds and the weather experts have advised the whole fleet to head S to avoid a depression in mid atlantic. So we will have company on our traditional route...heading south until the butter melts!

The overall route is about 2850 miles. We hope to arrive before all the parties have ended.
