With just over 24hrs before departure the team is busy loading and organizing the boat.
All the food and equipment are on board and securely stored for the Atlantic crossing; water and diesel tanks are full. Josie has tried several ways of securing the kayaks and is tying them down as I write this piece. His initial supports turned out to be to high for the head sail, but he was able to come up with a different system in no time. Man these boats are beautiful, pictures don't to them justice!
After a couple of weeks of strong winds and choppy seas we are now looking at few days of fine weather. Hopefully this will be enough for everyone to find their sea legs before the weather changes again.
Ciaran is arriving tonight and we plan to set sails tomorrow at 16:00, will try to check in here before departing. We'll have a sat phone with us and will do our best to keep you all up to date with our progress across the mighty Atlantic!
