Very warm day here unable to stop perspiring.
Te boat safety check went of without a problem, so no
last minute running around to do. This morning did re-tighten the guard rails to
reduce slack as seemed to have too much in them yesterday when grabbing hold of
them moving around the boat. Turned upside-down the 2 spinnaker fittings on
front of mast to hopefully stop jib sheet sometimes catching on one stopping the
jib coming in on the new tack.
We have a skippers briefing soon for the Antigua 360
race tomorrow. The slow boats get to start 1st so we can watch all the maxis and
multihulls go by us an hour later or so as they do start an hour after
us.
We have had more of our cans of food leak which we left
out for the Caribbean 600. We are now short as all our other cans are in
storage, we just hope those survive. We had removed the worst rusted ones. Not
sure what meals we are going to have yet as there are not any canned meals in
the small supermarket here that I can see. Saturday
job.
