I've no idea what T stands for, but the boys insists on it as a header. so here's todays news:

Weather report, it's still raining, shortly after Will washed he decks.
Cocoa futures have rocketed on news of Salila stocking up on choccy treats for three weeks.

Giant spider discovered lurking in bananas, Will bravely flicked it away so hard it's now in orbit.

I went up the mast for a final check, and a practise in case we have to do it offshore. And the crew kindly let me down again.

Will was kidnapped by some Australians last night, and arrived back in the early hours with a headache.

Fruit and veg was delivered and thoroughly washed, Pete had his hands round the melons most enthusiastically .

So we are off tomorrow for the 1230 racing start. Being a catamaran we are grouped with the fastest boat in the fleet, a 66ft Orange cat called Phaedo. Given the weight of vegetables and chocolate our only hope is to tie a rope to their stern and hope they don't notice. Mind you, we have been offered a jaccussi in mid Atlantic if we can catch Cattitude, this is unlikely.

We're all in good spirits and looking forward to it. Everyone send best wishes to families friends and random readers.
