Rigged and ready...
Alright, just a quickie before we head down to the container. Sailrocket is rigged and ready in her new soft-hangar. yesterday it survived a baptism of fire with a stiff Walvis wind and the wing sat inside with barely a rustle.
Having the boat sitting in this constant state of readiness will be a huge bonus as it is also safe from the elements. Our third hand has arrived and I will introduce him in my next update... so we have a complete team down here and no longer have to grab random people off the stools at the Yacht Club bar!
So now we are all set for full-on sailing and will try and use every day including this one. Helena continues her never ending war with the onboard electronics in this highly corrosive environment.
Today the sun is shining and the wind has begun to blow... so let's go down and see what happens.
a much more comprehensive update will follow...
Cheers, Paul.
