[hazard to shipping]

Love the photo of Fairwinds on the new site. I shall look forward to reading all about your trip.
Sorry about the hull polishing - but a happy Hazard will be setting off this Friday on her own wee adventure. Will see you when I get back and before you depart.

Sounds great, have fun!

Green with envy.

This could be the start of a glittering career in ocean racing.

Thank you all - I am very nervous/ excited now, butterflies in tummy kind of stage when I think about it. Also the weather at the moment is awful, quite a big swell on the north sea. Looks better for the beginning of the week though. People keep telling me horror stories of North sea conditions - swell so big that oil rigs disappear from view etc. Ah well - I shall find out next week.

Thought I better register to wish Nick & Cathy and Hazard good luck on their forthcoming voyages and I will be viewing Nick's site with jealousy once the voyage begins.

Look forward to hearing about Hazards exploits on your return.

Just like being on a Hurley 22 heading to Iona on the first day of the Chentllemans Cruise( only joking Dave )

Have a great time.
