Weather, weather, weather!




An update on the current situation regarding the race.

The race was due to start on 6th Dec but due to the hurricane in N Atlantic we were unable to leave as it created difficult conditions for us to row in.

Following the hurricane there has been a large low pressure covering the whole of the North and mid Atlantic that means that we are unlikely to have safe conditions to start until at least the middle of next week and most probably the start of the following week (20th Dec).

We are therefore taking time to re-prepare the boat and get used to rowing together.

We have already changed some of our food making the boat much lighter (100 kilos) and with Lia's ocean experience have been making changes to various aspects of the boat.
