Greetings all,

Saturday (today) is shaping up beautifully. The forecast is for 22 knots and it already looks like we are going to get it. The sky is clear and the wind is already present from the right direction. The container is buzzing as everyone takes care of their various fields. We are trying to get onto the course as soon as the tide will allow us.

VESTAS SAILROCKET sit's patiently outside like a race horse in its stable before the big event... oblivious to the events that are about to unfold and all the hopes and aspirations of those fussing over it. It will simply do the best that it can under the circumstances.

It's pretty exciting this official record stuff. You feel so much closer to your dreams every day. This is the fun part of the project.

I wrote a pretty long update on yesterday below.

Let's start the haul.

Cheers, Paul and the team.
