Hello Salamander Nation!
After some final preparations while on the pontoon, including buttoning down the boat, we’re happy to be off. We took the opportunity to practice some sail maneuvers as a team while waiting for our start time. As it approached, we were in a great position and crossed the line nicely at the gun.
Captain Chris had a sighting of his son who is captaining one of the racing boats, Scarlet Oyster. Chances are we will not see that crew again until we reach St. Lucia.
Now underway. It’s quite a sight to see the rest of the fleet under sail. Everyone is working well together and enjoying our first day as we sail south along the coast of Grand Canary.
