Sunday 2nd June

After all the preparation we're finally off. The forecast couldn't have been better and after a miserable year to date the weather was glorious. Before we even left Plymouth harbour the wind was blowing from the opposite direction from prediction. By the time we had out the Parasail up back to front we had fallen to the back of the fleet. Soon everyone was using their engine and we had no idea how we stood. Our first night was uneventful and we felt in good shape.
