An exciting start to the ARC January 2023!
We set off at 12:45pm and had a little trouble getting
the main sail up but once we had the sails up we were sorted. Now we are making
good progress south before we turn further west (probably tomorrow).
As this is the first blog post it might be a good
time to introduce the crew:
Alan Spence- Skipper, ex-fisherman and general nautical
enthusiast.
Charlie Fleming- Oil field sub-sea consultant and very
keen on cars, an interest he shares with Smithy.
David Thompson- Lobster fisherman from the Highlands.
Ian Smith (Smithy) - Builder and construction company
owner.
Izzy Spence - Daughter of Alan, not as practical as the
other crew members but I'll keep them in line!
That's all of us aboard Ca Canny, headed from Gran Canaria to St.
Lucia. For those who aren't aware, 'Ca Canny' means 'Go easy' in Scots, which is
exactly what we are hoping to do, but not too slow, we have flights to catch on
the other side!
That's all from me today,
- Izzy
