Happy New Year

Very lazy day today, just dropped our passports off with
Woodvale to be stamped tomorrow so we can leave the country on Monday. Weather
still seems ok so everyone is optimistic about a start at 1.30pm on Monday. Had
a few drinks in San Sebastian last night. The local way to celebrate New Years
is to have a large spanish dance in the local square. No one is about till
about 11.45pm and then hundreds of very smartly dressed locals appear. As most
of the rowers have only the basics we felt a bit out of place in our shorts and
T shirts. Just ticking off a few last minute things with the boat and starting
to make her ready for the crossing, somethings unfortunately will have to wait
till the day before as they are needed beforehand. We both wish everyone all
the best for the New Year. |
