Title: Blowing Old Boots!

28:07.750N 15:25.550W

 

Woke up this morning to very strong winds and lumpy seas - in the marina! The picture doesn't do it justice as it really was grey and very windy - however, the temperature was around 25 degrees C. (if anyone knows how to do a degree symbol please tell me!)

Still, after a fairly slow start we have had another successful day.

 

 

 

Preparations continue apace, with all of the provisioning now sorted and the bow thruster props antifouled, ready for fitting. The diver is booked for Tuesday afternoon, and after that we are down to checking out all of the equipment and systems.

Chris from Kotari had a reefing problem that we have been able to help out with, thanks to Sally& Lizzie bringing out spare parts on Wednesday.

If you see this Ian - I am looking forward to learning backgammon on the way over - hope you are patient!

Anyway, that’s all for now - next post will be after the rest of the crew arrive and we are on the final countdown
