The start of race day....

Today is race day.


They began the morning loading up Andy's truck with 2 weeks worth of food. The winds are not good - they are weak and going the wrong way! The trip may take them an extra day or two! Better winds are not expected until Thursday....

Simon with Nigel.

Jeff & Nigel and the loaded truck.

















But before departure - first a nice breakfast by the pool. And a few last-minute uploads of weather reports......

At right: Jeff and his trusty laptop.





This will be the last you will see of the swarthy sailors for a couple weeks. Wish them well!

Yesterday, Simon's comfy Chevy Van decided to blow a smog pump so they were forced to all squash into Andy's van.
