Sephina Day 1 Nothing to Report...
Well firstly I thought I would be too seasick to write this and secondly I thought there would not be a lot to say. The first has proved to be incorrect and the second true. But we are on our way. The emotion seeing friends off at the start was a little hard to bare. I was chocked up and couldn’t say much. This was further compounded by the emotional spectacle of the fleet departure. All in all it made you feel alive. It was a good decision to join the ARC. The start was uneventful apart from trying to miss other boats. We are sailing along at a steady 5 knots and we have reached 8 knots at times. The “Twistle” rig has proved to be easy to handle and effective and with modifications learnt at the seminars it is very efficient. Thanks to Bojan for the tips and Stuart from Seatech for the numerous soft shackles. So the evening meal beckons and the night watches begin. Lets hope all is still well in the morning. I will try and get the other skippers to write a little each day.
