CREW BLOG

Managed to cross start line 2nd in class and then encountered rough seas. Rona II lived up to her crews reputation when leaving Tenerife for song and good spirits. Sailed on to dolphins and shooting starts. Happy Birthday to Kerrie (on 16/5) and Roz (18/5). Bring on Bermuda!!

MESSAGE FROM SKIPPER

Crew were magnificent in gale putting in a 3rd reef and hoisting the staysail. A great sail and everyone is fit and well. The singing is magnificent!

Best wishes - Rona II
