Timshel - Reunion to South Africa Day 1

We were 4 th from last to set off from Le Port, and we were 2 min early at the start Gate. The Oyster Elise and AirPower are following - well Elise is overtaking. I guess John and Madrigal will start at exactly the correct time as he is a racing man. Tanya and Thomas on Adrienne are taking it easy and getting more fuel before they set off. Another hot sunny day, but unfortunately very little wind and what there is from ahead. The main thing about this passage is weather and avoiding being in the Agulhas current in bad stuff. We are getting weatherman Chris Tibbs who sailed in Taistealai in the 2017 Rally last year to do routeing for us.
