Imagine all the cars coming out of a multi storey car park at the same time with no brakes... At one point you could have walked across 6 boats without getting your feet wet.That was how Steve described the start line yesterday . So what was the rush with 2800 miles to go? Just a bloke thing I suppose. Adrenalin kicked in suddenly after 2 weeks in port. Now properly under way & this is what we came for.
Steep learning curve for the crew as we get the genaker up and down in interesting gusts. Settling into patterns & routines.
Neil is the star turn as fordeck muscle. Steve the quartermaster provided our 1st delicious meal last night.
David now official music master and crew working on him giving up the cigars.
Vanessa chief wheel wrestler during the broach!
