Salamander - In search of Mary the flag lady



Before setting off on my ARC adventure I received a message from some friends of my Aunt and Uncle. The message referred to a lady called Mary, to be found on the pontoons in St.Lucia, selling flags. the friends, Bob and Agneta had met Mary some 20 years ago when they took part in the ARC and had tasked me to find out if she was still around and pass on all good wishes.


So now we have a mission as well as the task of crossing the Atlantic.


For all on board, apart from owners Chris and Sue this is our first crossing. For them it's their 12th.


I chose the boat on the basis that it wasn't a novelty and that therefore we had a great chance of making it across and doing so safely. No pressure at all as they won last years race!


Speaking to one of the yellow shirts in Las Palmas it seems likely that Mary is indeed still around and I'm looking forward to meeting her and giving her the good wishes entrusted to me.
