Standing by for the weekend...
Tue, 20 Oct 09 12:47
It's pretty hot over here at the moment... despite there being a moderate SW wind. It's not strong enough to have us climbing into Musto dry-suits... but we are all here at the Walvis Bay Yacht Club just in case.
Here is a link to yesterdays video diary...

We continue to detail the boat in preperation for the next strong winds. They are expected around the weekend. We should still have a few hours of tide to play with towards the end of the day... but now we will sail on any tide if the opportunity arises. It just means I have a shorter run and have to be sure to slow down in a hurry... lest I hit the sand bar at the end.
It was great to see both Casey Stoner and Mark Webber win the Moto GP and Grand prix respectively on the weekend.... must be my turn... something about good things coming in threes;)
We have fitted a camera on the bow looking back now. If we do take off again... I want it covered from all angles... but it will be a piece of footage I will gladly forgo in exchange for a real champagne moment.
Cheers, Paul.
