| So I came back today after being on board Miss My since yesterday as a line handler. It takes 24 hours to transit. It was very good and I can strongly recommend being a linehandler as a preparation before your own transit. Olof, the skipper announces our coming to the Flats Advisors come on board to all yachts on transit Our advisor, preparing according to schedule The ship we will share chambers with on the way up Time to bundle with a boat Then one skipper is the one driving the whole group Line are thrown at us, four in all. We connect our lines to the throwing lines Kristina on Miss My in action Emil has thousand questions but helps me a lot with the winch The current is STRONG!
