More comebacks than Rocky!
The bitch is back.
Sailrocket is sitting outside with a fully repaired beam. I'd love to show you a pic but I don't have time to play with cameras as we are still on a mission.
Hell, we've been so busy that we haven't even changed the CD on the stereo. We've become pretty well acquainted with the 'Stone Roses' over the last 24 hours.
We need to be on the water in four hours.
Last night the beam was hanging over our bed whilst the hair dryer and generator cranked away. We have been up since 4am. I pulled the heater tent off and set to fitting all the pieces to the beam. We put on the track and moused all the lines.
Now we have to get the wing ready. The flaps are still over in the speedhut on speed-spot. We have to recalibrate the wing rotation sensors which got bent and a heap of other stuff.
I checked the main foil allignment and it is spot on so I don't know why the boat rounded up on the last run. I'll dial the skeg off a bit.
So much to do... but we can do it.
Hiskia has just arrived.
The forecast for today is perfect so if it plays out then... well... we'll be ready for it with a steely gaze.
We deserve some payback.
Cheers, Paul.
