Title: ARC Opening Ceremony

28:07.750N 15:25.550W
 
This is the start of our web diaries for the ARC - hope you all enjoy following our progress.
 
Well folks, Dave and Tony are now in Gran Canaria making final preparations and consuming a few beers along the way. The weather is good and everything is coming along well - even the water maker performed without a murmur!
 
Today was the opening ceremony, with a procession complete with brass band and flag bearers from every country participating - even Cornwall!!
 
 
The procession was followed by a water fight in dinghies (some very interesting costumes!), and a few beers to follow.
 
Looking forward to the rest of the crew joining us this week and the start on Sunday at 13.00.
 
More news to follow soon ............................
 
PS Love & Kisses to those who think they should have them.xxx
