With two frenetic
days of very hard work by the whole crew, we have now completed all of our
safety work on board and 'dressed' the boat with our colourful code flags. We
are boat number 201 as you can just about see in the photo. The work we put in
paid off and Rob, our safety inspector from the ARC team, has put us forward
for the Safest ARC Boat Award (out of 220 boats!), so we'll have to wait for
the prize giving in Saint Lucia and see if we were successful. We had also
better make sure that we do not sink on the way over! We still have a number of
smaller jobs to complete, but we now have some time of our own each day to
relax before the evenings' inevitable partying. Over the next few days, we are
attending a number of seminars covering many different aspects of sailing which
we give us a few refreshers on some of the more salient points we need to
remember for the crossing. Anyway, must go for now, another party is just
starting.......!!
