We left the marina at 10:00. It was quite an emotional moment because lots of people were there cheering an applauding the team. We set sail from the harbour in Gran Canaria at about 12:15 together with about 200 other boats, it was a pleasant sight even for us on the boat. Our first watch system began 13:00 for six hours and then the night watch rotates every four hours. It was very challenging at first especially because we were not used to that but we managed to adapt quickly. The meal we quite tasty since everyone contributed to the preparation. I (Neil) set a fishing line out but I am not successful up to this time. The next day at 12:00 noon the skipper (Gary) gave us a little briefing an applauded the team for the good work over the time gone. Life has continued and it is quite enticing up to this time.
