We're Good to Go

A day of hard graft. I headed for the weekly market to get the perishables and was back before Ollie had returned to the Land of the Living. James decided it was just too cruel to send him up the mast today, so instead employed him on gentler tasks, such as securing the gas bottles in case of a roll and sewing the jacklines.

Crew on duty

I found a copy of the OSR in English and so we managed to find out what we had to comply with rather than what the Frenchman's interpretation of the regs was. After a day spent doing stuff, we mustered inspection as daylight ended and we passed!

Suppies ready to go below - 20kg spuds, carrots, onions, 45 eggs, 3 cabbages (but no chilli)

Dave is now finding his way around the galley although he was slightly concerned when he had to start cooking before Julie had actualy emailed him the recipe he wsa meant to be following.

• Supplies - check
• ISAF OSR - check
• Weather - looking good

Looking forward to Sunday now.

"The Classic Yatch have arrived"...oops

No parties tonight, but we have a busy schedule coming up - tomorrow is Argos beacon briefing at 11am (as everyone forgot we were meant to be going at 10:30 today), storage netting to be fitted and then the Mount Gay Rum Crew Party kicks off at 10pm. Ollie says he's trying to get his body clock used to his allocated watch of 10-2 so it's perfect for him.... We also received invitations to the posh crew dinner on Friday night - still looking out for the "Classic Yatches". Oops. Hope Panerai don't notice.
