All a bit if a rush but ready to get to the start
on time. Thanks to Ed of Mailasail who replaced the phone at 11:30 pm on
Saturday night and fianl gathering of the crewe at 11:00 am we were ready for
the team photo (attached) at the start.
Arriving at the line with a comfortable 15 mintes
to go we joined the 35 boats of the racing start. Off in the middle of the fleet
we were soon heading for the acceleration zone off the Canaries. Relaxed and in
the zone Ban & Andy relaxed we made steady progress (see photo).
During the night wind variable in direction and
strength, but under Ben's guidance we continued to pass boats in the early
hours.
Rigging fishing lines as I type news on seaford
tomorrow...........
