We have had a few hiccups with our preparations with our container going to the north of Germany instead of the south of France! This has resulted in delaying flights and trying to track it down so we can get it off the ship and safely into our hands - or behind our car at least! We now will have to drive to Italy, hope to get the container there on the 3rd, and then drive, and drive and drive.... To make the first regatta in Barcelona which begins on the 5th.

It will be a mission so our first regatta will purely be a warm up, getting used to cold temperatures and seeing where we fit into the fleet after our months of training here in Australia.

I hope that you will enjoy following our travels and will let you know when we have our boats! It will be a very good day.

We compete in three regattas, two in Spain and one in France (Hyeres) before returning home for a short month training. Our second trip will be the bigger of the two, including the Europeans and the Worlds.

Fair winds and until the next update,

Regards,
Belinda and Jenny
