We were folowed out of Rodney Bay Marina by our new best friends from North Carolina Mike and Marybeth in  their massive catamaran ‘Paradise Found’. The whoelWARC team are very friendly and good fun. We look forward to the radio nets to come to keep pr selves updated on the progress of our fellow WARCers.

The start in light airs was a great sight 33 yachts all jostling for position - we managed to be about 5th over the line but suffered a failure of the Mainsail electric furling so stated with ‘jib and jigger’ and acquitted ourselves reasonably.Discussing sail plan and spotting flying fish.
