Final prep done we checked out of the EU and headed back to the new supermarket that opened in the middle of the week. Good News  the last of our prep requests Salt and Vinegar Crisps were in stock, a happy Charlie. The Rain from the morning dried up whilst we did our final prep allowing us to to put away a dry main cover.

By the time we got to the start line however the fog was filling in and rain falling again.  The starts starting rolling on with a certain Sunfast a little too eager off the start line, and then we were into the count down. It all got a little busy but we won the pin, only to overhauled by Amigos (A35), a polite comment about our start then we were off. Now 3 and ½ hours later and we have a collection of 13 boats are in a 1 mile radius.

The routing has us going east then north//west of the rum line with a 7day 16 estimate. Lets see when we get home

. Better get back to it.

James and Charles
