We are progressing well with the preparation of the boat. Unfortunately the weather has not been great, either no wind, or storms and rain! Practice has been minimal, but when we are out there, we seem to 'click' as a crew. Lets hope for some more wind this week-end, although the forecast looks dismal.
Our main issue at the moment, is getting any kind of sponsorship. Times are tough everywhere! We might get our accommodation sponsored, which will certainly help. We also need a new set of sails! The spinnakers are looking OK, but the main and jib is shot. Some of us are going to have to make 'anonymous' contributions!
The plan is to paint the deck next week, and then to take her over to Mosselbay and go and practice the whole week-end. Lets hope we have wind!!!
