Back on the launchpad...

Now I'm really tired... and concious of not making any mistakes.

Sailrocket is sitting outside and has been fully rigged and prepped for sailing.

The wind has just come in.... 5 words ago in fact!

It does that here. A visible line of wind on the water.

The tide is still low but flooding in.

There were a few other little breakages, bends and twists that needed sorting out but all that has been done.

 

I don't want to rush out to our next accident. But neither can we afford not to take the opportunity to sail today. It's a bit of a gamble but one I am willing to take.

As I was setting up the video cameras I went back to the last footage on the OBC (onboard camera). It seems like a month ago... not a few days. They have been long days but they have now paid off. I can't believe we have turned it around.  We feel very tired but satisfied that it was all not in vain.

 

The Yacht Club are making up some sandwiches. It's important to eat when you're worn down. Then we are off.

Helena is behind me scurrying around preparing the bags to be taken with us on the RIB.

 

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon!

 

Woohoo, let's go

 

Cheers, Paul.
