We are currently in Hamilton harbour getting the boat ready to start the 700 mile race to Charleston. Upon arrival we were met by the entire crew of leg 2 who proved that after 24 days at sea they were still in full singing voice and their high spirits have been transferred to our crew who are now eagerly awaiting setting off. Rona is in fine shape and was left impeccably clean, so another big thank you to the girls. The plan is to slip at around 10am (local time) for the parade of sail at 11, and then on to the start line for a 4pm start.
The ships “Oscar” , a t-shirt with a picture of Oscar from Sesame Street, which is awarded to the crew member who performs the most foolish or embarrassing act throughout the day has gone to Llyod Axten after his indiscriminate behaviours on the plane, it was awarded to him by the air stewardess.
With enthusiasm rising along with the temperature we are all looking forward to setting off. Huge Congratulations to girls for your leg, now it’s our turn!
