Last couple of days of preparation before the start for AZAB on Saturday. Feel we are in good shape and pretty much there with all our jobs. Just the last few items of food to buy and a final look at the weather to confirm the plan for the race.
The weather for Saturday is looking good so hopefully it will be a nice gentle ease into my first Ocean Race.
Slight mishap today got a splinter right up under my nail from the pontoon, which despite my best efforts with tweezers no chance of me getting it out! Steve persuaded me to go to the minor incident centre as he was concerned it could get infected and 10 days at sea was not the place to be. 3 hours later a load of laughing gas and not much of a nail left, most of its out. So fingers crossed the last little bit will work itself out.
