25th April

Work on board is now moving ahead smoothly with the
reassembly complete and most of the servicing done. The original estimate of a
week proved correct. Lions Whelp are back from the racing, minus Abbot who has
taken his injured hand back to the states. Had breakfast and dinner with Phin
and he crew yesterday and it was great to catch up. Rob from PYS is on board
and has his son with him. Found some burns cream in our first aid kit to help
with his sunburned feet. Phin is planning to depart tonight at about 2000
though he still has a bit to do before he will be ready. Charles has now
confirmed his arrival for the 10th May and we will get away shortly
after that. He will depart from T & C on the 21st which is the
same day that Geoff Richardson arrives from |
