Just before dawn our new crew approached ...
 
They boarded successfully ....
 
although they gradually discovered that the solar panels are not the best place to stand on a rolling boat.  Once they got themselves organised they soon got into the sailing - checking that skipper was helming OK ...
 
 
... up the mast to check on the rigging ....
 
There was only one who didn't really get the hang of sailing ....
 
Other news:  We motored for a couple of hours overnight but are now back sailing with the large genoa up and on a broad reach.
