Pelekan - Departure minus 1

Departure minus 1

Pelekan

Tom & Jos Hollway

Sun 2 May 2010 01:10

Our crew have arrived in tip top condition, two pale males. We are ready for the off tomorrow. Toothbrushes broken in half for optimal lightweight racing, 200kg of food stowed away, final "briefing" where we have met our delightful opposition, and poised for a race with a weather forecast favouring bikinis rather than oilies.

The gun goes at 11.00hrs tomorrow.

Love from all on Pelekan.
