We have now completed our two weeks preparation for the
ARC in Gran Canaria and we leave for St Lucia tomorrow.
We have all had a wonderful two weeks of parties and
events. Below is a short selection of photos from several hundred we have
taken.
As I write this, the pontoon is alive with crews
preparing for tomorrows departure. We have some last minute shopping to do
before we leave - but the boat is in first class order and we are
all ready to go. We plan to update the blog when we are at sea on a regular
basis.
