Skyelark of London - Skyelark Start Day



Skyelark of London has a multinational crew this year. Skipper Dan, Richard, Richard and Bob are from England, Bill and Eian from Australia, Anthony from Wales, and our Mate Richard from Ireland. Good job there isn't room for a rugby match on board! First job was to decide what to call the three Richards on board. Rich? Rick? Dick? No one wanted to be a Dick so we have Mate Richard, Rick and Bidders! Richard Bidwell has assumed his long term nickname. Having overcome the early identity crisis we set about coming together as a crew by sharing beers and wine at the ARC Happy Hours and the Farewell Party. Final preparations including the big shop and washing all the fruit and veg .

At last it was time to go. Skipper Dan and his well oiled crew were ready for the big adventure. Lots of boats, lots of noise, and lots of people were there to see us out of the marina and on to the Start Line.A good start followed by a nice night sailing in light winds and calm conditions saw us on our way to St Lucia. this morning we caught a good sized Mahi Mahi so dinner tonight is `Catch of the Day` prepared by Bob (who doesn't eat seafood). We therefore also have `Sausages of the Day` as the Chef`s Special.Light winds and calm seas contiue so it`s been a relaxing day for all.
