... and looking pretty as ever. In the end there was no need to rush to get out on the water as the weather didn't demand it... so we took our time with the detailing. I am in no hurry to get to the next accident. After a big crash like the last one we need to spend some time just dialling the boat back in and making sure it is calibrated. This generally involves getting the steering system in sync with the foil alignment. We have a system of jigs and lasers to get it within fractions of a degree on land...

Morning all... from our little hive of activity down here on the lawn of the Walvis Bay Yacht Club in Namibia.

We are making great inroads into the long repair list and I feel that today will be the day that we 'break the back' of that list. Long, late nights can knock days of certain jobs.

I have now posted a Video diary of the recent events and will continue to do so through the remainder of this record attempt. Here is the link...

I'll cut to the chase...

Righto, here we go again. Outside it has all the makings of a good day... but it is a great day that we seek. The forecast is the same as yesterdays but we are hoping that it is a bit steadier... and up a few knots. The best place to wait is fully 'kitted' up over at speed-spot.
