As some of you may know the start of the race was delayed due to strong southerly winds (blowing us North) so we are trying to make the most of our time by catching up on “more serious” admin things and keeping away from the boat for a day or two.  We are eager to get going especially as we had to find accommodation quickly and also have to keep the bear minimum in personal posessions!  We wouldn’t want to take anything with us we don’t need as its more weight to row!  As you can see the crew were very busy yesterday whilst the skipper was out of sight! it wont be like that on the ocean waves, cup of tea please Princess Helen and keep rowing!
