The jobs seem to go on forever. I'll be glad when we go to sea. Today we've collected more chandlery, put patches on the rib, made and fitted a saddle for the rib to sit on, packed away the veg, fitted nets down below for the veg (potatoes fall through the holes...), done the laundery (twice), sent Ollie up the mast and the kids cooked a chocolate cake! This was more of a challenge as the flour was three years out of date and needed to be sieved through the tea strainer to remove the lumps. It tasted good though and didn't last long once it came out of the oven.

Tomorrow we will be catered for by Panerai. Stewards will serve breakfast on the yachts at 9.30 and the evening is the main departure dinner at the Hotel Grand Real Villa Italia. We also have our tracker fitted so you can
watch our progress live.
