Well this much-anticipated and planned-for day has finally arrived. The English summer sky is spitting with light drizzle but the crew are in good form and raring to go.
The number 3 jib is fitted. David is thrust into his brand new state-of-the-art lifejacket. Last minute hugs and a few moist eyes and suddenly there is a rush to go. The tide will turn agains Candida on her westwards passage to Fowey if it is left much longer so at 10.10am on Tuesday 26th August Candida leaves on leg 1 of the great adventure.
