Well we're nearly there. About as ready as we'll ever be. Heading out to Lanzarote on Sunday (18th) to take the boat over to Gran Canaria for the start of the ARC !

Two years in the planning and suddenly it's here. Not too excited just yet but ask me again on Sunday!!!

More as we get chance over the next few weeks...

Picture below taken during some glorious days anchored off Lanzarote and generally chilling/messing about with the rib and inflatable "thingies"
