Hi everyone. This is Alastair - one of the crew that will sail "Knotty Girl" across the Atlantic. I arrived yesterday morning, to find Last Palmas bustling with final preparations for the start of the ARC on Sunday. The boat looks fabulous, and the list
of outstanding jobs is pretty small. Roberto & Tanya have done a great job getting her ready, with not much left to do other than stock up with fruit, veg, and fresh meat. Thankfully, the local markets here are very used to scruffy-looking boat crews fondling
every piece of fruit for sale, before finally selecting the ones that are nowhere near ripe enough! Now washed, counted, and tested, the whole lot is strung up in my cabin. So at least I'll smell nice in the morning...
