The covers are off VESTAS SAILROCKET and all the electronics are onboard.

We are trying to get whoever is available to come out and help. Everyone is busy. it is a typical windy, sunny summers day. The wind is definitely still too west for us right now but it only has to swing a little. Helena has gone out in the RIB to have a closer look and check the course.

When I jumped in the car to go 'recruiting' a moment ago there was a song on the radio when I turned the key. It was the Newton Falkner song we used on the video when we did our first 40 knot run a little over a year ago. That was a 'last ditch against the odds' run as well. Hmmm... well if it turns out that way again I'll be pretty happy.

So we are getting ready to roll but we still need a few key pieces to drop into place. The dream run would be to nail the mile and outright on the one run... at sunset... on the last day. (Don't think about it Paul... just keep checking everything and do your bit well. The rest is out of your hands.)

If we go for it... then there will hopefully still be a live feed. We are short of people.

Cheers, Paul.
