GBR9793T CHEEKI RAFIKI 230810 1225 and we're in the Solent and its lessthan 2 hours till we start
We had a relaxing evening and morning in Cowes with the obligatory trip toEgons for breakfast. We've even picked up an Egons certificate for finishingone of their bonanza breakfasts (all part of the training).
Gareth made sure we did our safety briefings and final checks before we leftthe berth and we had a team photo with the posh Stormforce shirts on.
We're now sailing around the Solent 'getting the wind angles'
John on the Helm. Gary, Martin, Greg and Stephen in the cockpit. Nick andKen on the bow. Gareth taking us through a few tacks to get us tuned inagain.
Great conditions, had 33knots when we came out, now dropping. Lots of chatabout sails, and what to start with.
Good feeling on board, cupboards full of so much food!
Looking forward to Muckle Flugga!
