Work on board is now moving ahead smoothly with the reassembly complete and most of the servicing done. The original estimate of a week proved correct. Lions Whelp are back from the racing, minus Abbot who has taken his injured hand back to the states. Had breakfast and dinner with Phin and he crew yesterday and it was great to catch up. Rob from PYS is on board and has his son with him. Found some burns cream in our first aid kit to help with his sunburned feet. Phin is planning to depart tonight at about 2000 though he still has a bit to do before he will be ready. Charles has now confirmed his arrival for the 10th May and we will get away shortly after that. He will depart from T & C on the 21st which is the same day that Geoff Richardson arrives from Florida. Geoff will stay with me until we are berthed in Fort Lauderdale. Timing has now worked out well and we will not be under any real time pressure getting to the T & C so will be able to have a look around on the way.
