Though we were ready - but things are never as they seem.  rip in the UV strip of the jib - then after marking positions for the mainsail wear patch (Oli up and down the mast a few times) we discovered a tear in the main.  Both sails out of commission - off to Ullmans for last minute repairs.

Other last minute jobs almost all completed.  Hydro generator had proved itself last night (10 - 15 amps at 5 knots) but the new pulley system from Allspars had proved too strong for the OEM ropes fitted - broken rope replaced by dyneema (Oli in action again)

One side of cabin lights replaced by LEDs which switch between red (for night sailing) and white.

Provisioning partially complete.

Labelling of most things in storage complete - as the picture shows, we may have gone a little too far.

 

So we are all good to go tomorrow night - assuming the sails are back.  Weather forecast suggest the sails will be redundant anyway.
