Hello
to my avid followers, how are you both?
I’m
positioning Calypso from Plymouth to Falmouth (Pendennis Marina) and I’m two
hours away, just south of the Dodman. It’s been an eventful few days trying to
get the boat ready, I’ve been rushing around madly and up and down the mast,
too. Just when I thought everything was going to be ready early, the wind
indicator broke, so I had no choice but to replace it, as they don’t make them
like the old one anymore. It’s done
now, I’ve fed all the cable through and up to the instrument, it seems to work
very well. Thanks must go out to Jon Frary for his help, not just for the
windvane but also for his knowledge and help getting Calypso and her crew ready
for the race.
I’d
also like to say thank you to everyone who has supported us as we try to prepare
for the race, that includes the generous souls who have supported our charity,
Help for Heroes. We have raised a lot of money with hopefully some more to
come!
Please continue to follow us, I’ll be out on my own and Alex will
join me there for the return leg. We’ll try and make our diary entries as
interesting as possible...
Anyway enough from me, jobs to do!
Joe
