If you read this
message before 1.00pm on Sunday then you can watch the start of the race from
12.30 onwards on www.palmasport.es.
Look out for NOW3 crossing the start line at about 1.00pm UK
time.
So do we take the
rum line north where the big weather is or do we follow the trade winds south
and risk the doldrums half way across? Who knows what the skipper will
decide!
This is
our last message from Terra Firma and a few members of the crew have asked
me to send a few personal messages from the internet cafe before we rely on the
Satellite Phone to upload these diary reports.
Charley wants to
tell Lucy that your good luck card is in a prominent position in his bunk and he
loves Sue loads.
Nico says to Sarah,
Daniel, Sophie and Jason this will take him a little longer than your 12
hour flight, looking forward to seeing you in Antigua.
Tom wants to say Hi
to his son Tommy and he looks forward to seeing him in
St.Lucia
Ron says Hi to
Heather, waiting to see you in St Lucia.
Dave is missing all
his girls already Isobel, Ellie and Rosie, he only arrived last
night!
The Skipper wants to
tell Babs, Frazer and Rory as well as all the Family that he is thinking of them
all and thanks to everyone at Ladybarn School who has been following
this adventure.
Gillian I hope you
are looking forward to the Xmas break, I will be waiting for you in
Antigua and will miss you lots.
We had a
great Safety briefing yesterday afternoon and we are are all looking
forward to the start now. The early night soon disappeared last night but
the adrenaline will get us all through the first day I'm
sure.
Don't forget to
watch us on-line at 1.00pm!!
