It's now Saturday afternoon, this morning was the
final skipper's briefing with details of the start and finish procedures, and an
update on the weather which looks good, trade winds for the first couple of days
down towards the Cape Verde Islands.
All of the meat and veg arrived last night but we
forgot to ask for 4x3 chicken breasts and have a big lump of 12 frozen and
vacuum packed chicken bits which is going to be an interesting cooking challenge
when it defrosts!
Going out for our last meal ashore
tonight.
Tomorrow we will leave the marina about 12 for a
1300hrs start which should be fun with 250 boats all trying to get out of the
marina and to the line at the same time. Staying inshore after the start to get
the best of the acceleration winds and than south to miss the wind shadow of the
island.
