Just a few bits of tidying and organising to do on the boat today and probably get a bit of fresh food for the first couple of days. Spent yesterday packing things away properly and sealing all the hatches with vaseline to make them a bit more waterproof and hopefully easier to open when they are crusted in salt. All GPS waypoints plotted, about 10 in total though they are more guides than an exact course as we will be going roughly where the conditions make it easiest for us to row. The satelite tracker on our boat can be followed at http://www.atlanticrowingrace09.com/progress/. Our boat number is actually 42 but for some reason its still under 15 on the website, our boats name is “The Reason Why” so click on that and you will be able to see our individual tracking dot. We may not be able to update the blog for a day or two after race start as it may take a while for our stomachs to get used to the constant motion! Any messages will be better off sent to atlanticvets {CHANGE TO AT} mailasail {DOT} com as that email is configured with our satelite phone and it takes a bit too much of our phone credit to access other sites.
