2nd, 3rd and 4th November
 
Monday involved lots of rest, cleaning the boat from end to end and hello to new crewmate Tom in the evening.
 
Most if not all of Tuesday was spent provisioning the boat with Matt and Barry in Morrisons for over 8 hours and the rest of us stowing it all on Phoebe B.  There's a photo of the 55 packs of 6x1.5ltr bottles filling the foredeck, never mind all the food. Still that's mostly it now all the way to the Caribbean.  New crewmate Raj joined us mid morning.
 
On Wednesday we needed to prep the rigging to protect the mainsail while sailing downwind for so long across the atlantic.  So birthday boy Colin got his wish to climb the mast complete with 2.5 hours work on the spreaders.  Rory did the same on Tranquilizer and some fun was had swapping rolls of tape mid air between the two boats.
