Shimna - Nearly ready



Well we are nearly ready for the off , shakedown sail today with all the experts on board making sure all is well . The cruising chute is up ,and we do have some wind today . The provisioning is nearly done . Dave keeps telling me where are we going to put all this the stuff !!( wait till he wants more crisps and chocolate and we’ve runout ) he’ll be throwing  me over board for the fishes . We have the car here , from memory it is a long  walk to the shops from the Marina in Las Palmas. We hope to leave on Saturday morning , the weather is looking good at the moment but that can change . It will take about 4 days. It’s (young ) cabin boy Johns birthday today a cake is called for ,he is considerably younger than Dave . If we don’t win any prizes for the race we might get one for the oldest team when you add all the ages up !! In fact Dave should be at home with his feet up he’s so very very very old !!
