Lowtide down time!
The low tides have moved into the afternoon preventing us from launching and crossing the lagoon so we will not be sailing for the next few days until the high tides move past midday.
So we carry on with the job-list and maintenance. We are setting up a fixed 500 meter course to focus on during the runs. We will set up the start at the timing hut and then place the large orange SEAFLEX buoy 500 meters down the course. It will also mark the closest depth I can sail relative to the beach. I think that we are at a good stage to start focusing on hitting high averages in a controlled manner and that by focusing on this it will put other areas of the boat, team and sailing into perspective.
Back in the UK we are getting great ongoing support from existing sponsors. Both MUSTO and PI RESEARCH are sending packages which will respectively greatly improve the teams comfort whilst over at speed-spot and the quality of data coming off the boat. MUSTO will supply us with drysuits and mid-layer clothing whilst PI RESEARCH are leaving nothing to chance with the data logging system. A complete new, custom wiring loom is on its way along with a spare B+G wind wand. This should complete the system and have our total electronics system not only back and fully functional... but functioning better than ever.
Happy days.
Cheers, Paul.
