This morning was the opening ceremony. Not quite London 2012, but really well organised, and there are 30 nations represented in this year‘s ARC +. As the Greek crew hadn’t turned up, we became the Greek flag bearers for half of the procession. We’re all hoping for an EU passport!
Some jobs achieved during the day, and we’ve more or less sorted out how much beer and wine (as well as other essentials) we need for the trip.
But, before dusk we noticed a damaged spreader which will need to be sorted before we leave. We’re hoping that a replacement can be found and shipped (we’re not expecting we’ll find one here). Sailing! All the well known sayings (‘tearing up £5 notes…’) apply.
Tomorrow’s another day.
