Ocean Venture - Countdown to start



So it's less than 72hrs away from starting our Atlantic race. Eight crew on now and last two arrive Friday.(it is Friday and have arrived), interesting bunch including a retired director of NHS intensive care, commodities dealer, retired policeman, and a few chancers.
Quite a palpable buzz in the air around the place as first timers take on the challenge.Just spent a £1000.00 on the shopping ( ten people,twenty days ),and packed it away in a couple of hours including getting it from van to boat we questioned why wives make such a big deal on the matter!
Still, we feel particularly blessed to have had such a light workload of jobs compared to others that have had rigs out, leaks to find and plenty more to keep crews busy. We like to watch the hubbub of life around us and enjoy much amusement ,(not too smugly).
Anyway. Enough for now, be in touch with update soon.

Ps We tested two personal location beacons today which worked as a visit from the coastguard soon after confirmed when alerted by overhead aircraft they had picked up a distress signal. Good to know they really work!!
