Ein Gruß vor dem Landfall und ein Vorher-Video aus Guadeloupe. Mal sehen, wie das Nachher-Video aussieht...
So this is our final blog from our qualifying voyage. Horta is 35 miles away and we are making 10-12 knots straight towards it. The sun is shining and the wind a chilly 23 knots from the south west. We are both very excited about getting ashore mostly so we can have hot showers and cold beers but there is also that little bit of hesitency, soon the first step in our sailing adventure will be over and when we leave the Azores it will be as a foursome rather than just the 2 of us. It will of course be great to have the company but strange to share our small space now that we are used to having it all to ourselves.
We have learned so much this trip, improved a great deal on our first few days and discovered that we are more than happy to sail with each other. Our shopping list for the boat grows everyday so the race is on to secure the necessary sponsorship ASAP. At the top of Anna's wish list for the boat - an overhaul of the bunks to increase comfort, mine - more beans for the bean bag!
Thanks for following our adventure, in 4 hours time we should become the first team to qualify for the Global Ocean Race 2011-12, not a bad effort for a team established just 3 months ago!
